You're quite right.

patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
gpatch: **** malformed patch at line 28:

so later versions of patch complain about it, rather than patching.

The bug is with query-pr.cgi it appears....  We'll never get that
fixed, given that gnats3 has been removed from the ports tree.  I'll
put a patch together if clusteradm/bugmeisters were prepared to have a
go-- I could revive the old port skel for it.

Any takers?  Or shall this just remain unfixed?
