Thank you but I wanted this for a Win7 machine, not Linux.
(I have MINGW installed but its 'patch' is a bit unstable as it crashes most of the time besides not being available on most Win7 machines.)

That's why I was hoping fossil would be able to eat its own ... diff

Bundle is not good when the patch comes from a 3rd source (e.g., posted on a web site) in unified diff format, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Thanks, anyway. I guess I need to look for a reliable Win7-based stand-alone patch utility. Until then, manual editing! :)

Fossil itself doesn’t do that. You use the patch(1) utility for that, which expects a unified diff. (“fossil diff” produces output in that format by default, but diff(1) does not.)

If you want something that works entirely with Fossil tools, you should be using the new “bundle” features. This creates a “sub-repository” containing a given change set, including all of the details Fossil tracks that do not appear in “fossil diff” output.
