when compiled in, patch tries to preserve file attributes, for example:

$ echo a > f
$ setfattr -n user.name -v value f
$ cat > ab.diff
--- f
+++ f
@@ -1 +1 @@
-a
+b
^D
$ patch f < ab.diff
$ getfattr -d f
# file: f
user.name="value"

I assume you get the error message with and without --verbose.
What does strace show in your case?
