It depends on the nature of the patch. If it breaks binary compatibility it cannot go into 0.9.8. If it adds new features it cannot go into 1.0.0 because that's in a feature freeze. Any patch should be usable in HEAD, which should currently apply to 1.0.0 (if applicable). Adding a version for 0.9.8 if appropriate and if the HEAD patch doesn't apply cleanly is a good idea too.
