I rebooted and everything is working again. I was on pins and needles
while waiting, but a backup went fine last night.
util-linux still complains:

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|If this patch does not apply cleanly to newer version of util-linux-ng, try
|replacing original lomount.c lomount.h loop.h losetup.8 files in mount
|subdirectory with versions from util-linux-ng that the patch is for. And
|then apply this patch.
|
|mount/Makefile.in is a generated file. You can ignore patch failures on
that

So I suppose I should open a bug on it. If it can't even find the
file, I don't think replacing existing files from elsewhere will do
any good. That also implies upstream will get things straightened out
sooner or later anyway.
