Was the above patch in the repository or it got pulled among those 4?
I.e. this could be either a bad error message (getting "failed to read
patch" instead of "can't apply since you are missing patches"), or it
could be a completely different bug somewhere else. But I'd rather first
confirm or rule out this. Thanks.

Would that mean that the bundle applies OK on the repository without
these 4 patches using darcs 2.4?

In which case, yes, this is RC. But probably not an alpha blocker...
