Without seeing the contents of version.orig, I can't say much.

It looks as if only the change to the version file failed.
Changes to the version file are generally not critical until you
need to report a bug.
In your situation, I'd notice that the patch only failed to change
the PATCHVER linein the version file from "4" to "4-vjs287.12" and
make an equivalent change to the original version file.
