I think the offending patch should be reverted. It tries to avoid passing the SWITCH-FUNCTION argument to sendmail-user-agent-compose; if I'm not mistaken, this change originated from Micha=C3=ABl Cadilhac's 2007-03-07 complaint to emacs-devel that report-emacs-bug overrides mail buffers that are already open. But this behavior was tolerable; it doesn't justify working around the neat SWITCH-FUNCTION interface to sendmail-user-agent-compose.
