I do. So the point is, when you apply a patch, then there is / may be
a need to bootstrap? Can this also hold true for other tools? I for
example never did so and experienced no problems until now.

Can you be more specific? Is far as i know i apply all patches and did not
encounter this problem. From the present discussion you may have
understood that the version has to be 2.59<=version<=2.62. But that
point is addressed by a patch now (use mine or Eric's). What's the 
source of limitation?
