Are you certain the patch had been applied to the kernel you were 
testing?  The patch adds a line that calls blk_queue_max_hw_sectors() 
with max_hw_sectors set to 65535, so it should have the same effect as 
your quick fix.

Maybe you can add a printk statement to scsiglue.c:slave_configure() in 
drivers/usb/storage to make sure that the patch's call really does take 
place as intended.
