When you use twoside option, and set custom margin, then you need to pass the twoside option to the geometry package. This happens automatically if you use for example the article class, because we then put a global twoside option (in the \documentclass line). However, in the book class, we don't put the twoside option in the document class line. Therefore, my patch add the twoside option to the \geometry{} command. In fact, it always adds the twoside option, even when there is a global twoside option, but it doesn't matter. Another solution would have been to always put a global twoside option.
