The patch is buggy.

Once patched, the code looks like this:

        case 2:
                b = buf + 1;
                /*
                 * Append a suffix to each nonempty line to clear the
                 * end of the screen line.
                 */
                while ((brk = strpbrk(b, "\n\r"))) {
                        int linelen = brk - b;
                        if (linelen > 0) {
                                strbuf_addf(&outbuf, "%.*s%s%c",
                                            linelen, b, suffix, *brk);
                        } else {
                                strbuf_addf(&outbuf, "%c", *brk);
                        }
                        xwrite(STDERR_FILENO, outbuf.buf, outbuf.len);
                        strbuf_reset(&outbuf);
                        strbuf_addf(&outbuf, "%s", PREFIX);
                        b = brk + 1;
                }
                if (*b) {
                        xwrite(STDERR_FILENO, outbuf.buf, outbuf.len);
                        /* Incomplete line, skip the next prefix. */
                        strbuf_reset(&outbuf);
                }
                continue;

You are probably missing a strbuf_addf() before the last xwrite().
