I don't know offhand about this patch, but it's probably safe enough  
to replace sections manually without doing any harm.   I've done it  
with other patches in the past.

That said, usual precautions apply.  Do it on a test installation  
first, and see if it works with a test list!

Is this something that might have been fixed in 2.0.10, though?  
Because the 1st beta is out if you want to give that a go instead.  I  
don't recall seeing it listed, but I didn't read the notes to carefully.
