Thank you for the bug report. The bug still exists in version 2.5.9.
The assertion simply seems wrong. In case you are still interested in this
bug, a fixed version is available in the git repository of
https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/patch on the "testing" branch:
git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/patch.git
cd patch
./autogen.sh
./configure
./make
