I'm not terribly competent with the patches so I couldn't get the patch to (even with different -p options). Nevertheless I applied it manually and everything works ok (this is with 0.5). I created a diff that applies OK to a clean source and I'm attaching it here, although frankly I fail to see how it is any different from the original patch. It solves the problem for me with 0.5. Thanks to everybody that took a look into this!
