Regardless, it's unlikely that the patch was tested against all of
the platforms available on the build farm. If it fails on some of the
build|patch farm animals, or if it fails due to bitrot, the point is
it fails: whatever version the patch was generated against is pretty
much moot: the patch needs to be fixed. (And isn't the version number
included in the patch if generated as a diff anyway?)
