Tried the fix below and it made no difference. Have you made any progress.

Already considered that way, but the issue is different.
We contacted Microsoft PSS and found together a solution.
You have to let the patch think it is a mono node (or at least that every
available nodes are RTM).
To accomplish this you have to edit the properties of every resource
(resource not group!) and remove every SP2 node from the availables.
In this way the patch will not contact that node and have no failure.
The workaround cause a loss of availableness if you will put only a single
node available... but, instead of rebuilding the whole cluster, it is an
accettable solution!
The same workaround will work with every hotfix.

I asked an MVP friend to write something about this issue, Microsoft told me
they will soon publish an article. Hope this will help a lot of peolpe!
Bye,

Andrea
