I had the same issue with some of Jan's patches yesterday. I used diffoscope to compare the non-working patch and a "should-be" identical patch that I generated locally. The only differences were in the patch headers and the encoding of the file (UTF-8 vs ISO-8859-1). I couldn't figure out why these differences would matter and moved on, but it's disturbing that others are hitting the same issue!
