Though during my testing yesterday of the GCC-3.4.1 versus GCC-3.4.3 patches, I couldn't really see any difference in at least one of the patches, though new ones were created. Not sure what to think about the "policy".
AFAIK we will "create" new patches for new versions of a package by simply copying the old patch to a new file with just the packageVersion portion of the filename changed. If this is not what has happened with some of the patches in the LFS repository then I don't know what to say really, aside from "sorry, I didn't review closely enough". If you could point me to a categorical example of a patch that appears to be just a rediff (and such a rediff wasn't required to workaround a failed hunk) I'd appreciate it.
