This is most likely my falt. And if so I take responsiblitly.
However, would like to point out that to some extent the having
a tree that both includes patches and has them pre-applied
seems to be somewhat error prone.
I am wondering if any advancements have been made on this in the 2.6 tree.

That does surprise me. I am pretty sure I checked several times
to make sure they applied cleanly. In fact I suspect that any
source packages that were released without the paches being
pre-applied were the result of me checking patch and patch -R.
In any case, Have you pushed these your fixes into svn?
