Some days ago you mentioned cases where "quilt pop -a" would not behave
properly. Could it be related, are both problems happening on the same

As a side note, it was noted some times ago that quilt wouldn't always
play nicely when patch names contained fancy characters. Make sure it
isn't what's happening to you here.
