The patch you linked will not be applied nicely, but it is already
included in 2012.06.

I'm not sure the errors you receive can cause your image not to boot,
it is the first time to my knowledge it has been reported. It might be
worth to investigate a little bit more in detail the problem though.
(In case, can you please file a bug against linaro-image-tools?)

That error shouldn't be harmful, it might go away just simlinking
/etc/mtab in /proc/mounts, as per:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-image-tools/+bug/768647
but it has never been tested.

Ciao.
