I can't guess from the output what the problem might be. Could you please try 
narrowing the problem down to a patch which modifies a single file, and send:

 * the original file,
 * the file after "quilt push",
 * the output of "quilt files",
 * the output of "quilt --trace pop",
 * the resulting (corrupted) file.

The --trace output will show you what quilt does internally; the problem 
likely is either that patch doesn't create the right backup files when doing 
the push, or that the version of he backup-files utility (which is part of 
quilt) is broken.

Thanks,
Andreas
