I digged a bit on this issue, and it seems that the problem is due to
the following chunk of backup-files:
        if [ -z "$OPT_KEEP_BACKUP" ]; then
                rm -rf "$OPT_PREFIX" 
        fi
So that utility fails to clean the .pc after removing the patch.
That, in turn, breaks the following chunck of the delete command.
        if ! quilt_command pop -fq
        then
                exit 1
        fi
                                        

This could be easily be ignored (I guess) with something like 
                rm -rf "$OPT_PREFIX" || echo "cannot clean all backup files, 
some cruft was left over"
or similar, but that's obviously not very clean. 

Another approach would be to get quilt to drop its privileges when
writing to the .pc directory ?

Sorry for the delay in digging in that bug,
Mt.
