2.6.29.1-102.fc11 --with vanilla broken

Trying to build a vanilla kernel with:

rpmbuild -ba --with vanilla kernel.spec 

fails like so:

+ ApplyPatch linux-2.6-build-nonintconfig.patch
+ local patch=linux-2.6-build-nonintconfig.patch
+ shift
+ '[' '!' -f 
/home/cra/rpmbuild/SOURCES/linux-2.6-build-nonintconfig.patch ']'
ERROR: Patch  linux-2.6-build-nonintconfig.patch  not listed as a 
source patch in specfile
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.8pegaB (%prep)

this is due to the following code in ApplyPatch():

  if ! egrep "^Patch[0-9]+: $patch\$" %{_specdir}/%{name}.spec ; then
    if [ "${patch:0:10}" != "patch-2.6." ] ; then
      echo "ERROR: Patch  $patch  not listed as a source patch in specfile"
      exit 1
    fi
  fi 2>/dev/null

Why is it checking for "patch-2.6.*" in the patch file name?  I 
removed that entire block of code and --with vanilla now works.  What 
is the expected behavior of that block of code?
