I think I like Jim's idea better: you want to find out if some other
applied patch has broken the patch-under-test, so I cannot see a reason
for testing against anything except branch tip.
There certainly is value in being able to test against a non-HEAD branch
tip, but I don't see the point in testing against a back timestamp.
