Just to make sure that I am not hallucinating, I added this one:

diff --git a/t/t4114-apply-typechange.sh b/t/t4114-apply-typechange.sh
index ebadbc3..83ddf62 100755

It is a copy of the original, only forcing the patches in the input
in the opposite order.

Having said that and also having read your two-phase internal
application change, I think that two-phase thing is probably a good
way to go (we may even want to ignore "previous_patch()" stuff, as
its "was_deleted()" and "tobe_deleted()" are all about "force the
application of a later patch to depend on the result of application
of an earlier patch").
