Are the windows-installer patches part of the packages upstream repos? 
How is the windows installer built? Any extra patches somewhere outside 
the main repos?

Fortunately the struct package seems to have the patches placed into the 
main branch - the commit 
https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/struct/ci/320e8484cd10b73cef40c9b51d99ebbb0c7b8360/ 
(dated after the stable release) will probably fix my problem. I will 
try the HEAD/devel version then.

Best regards,

Pavel.
