Nate: You're probably applying the patch wrong.  If you don't feed
anything to the patch program, it just sits there doing nothing.

Supposing you'd downloaded it to your Desktop as "unity-xml-comment-fix.patch", 
you'd apply the patch as follows:
  cd /
  sudo patch -p1 < $HOME/Desktop/unity-xml-comment-fix.patch

That should complete pretty much instantly.

Honestly, though, I wouldn't worry about it :)  I don't think this bug
actually causes any problems, and I imagine the fix will be shipped as
an update in the not-too-distant future.  (It's already been committed
upstream.)
