Fixed in ee06af5.

I came up with this patch:

;; Absolute file name of the module hierarchy.
However, since ‘search-patch’ errors happen at load time, the actual
exception is hidden, and one just gets a “package not found” error.
To fix that, we’d need to make ‘patches’ a thunked field, which sounds
reasonable to me. WDYT?
Thanks,
