That's a bit... dumb, and is going to turn off other fixes like this. not multi line patches, but TYPO fixes.
but then again, zend is 'enterprise class' and you need lots of red tape to be 'enterprise ready'
if they were smart, they'd just include the fix in another patch and say something like 'oops, already pushed an identical fix', cause you know, you can't copyright a correction to a typo.
