I never used the patch feature, only the add-on feature. So can't help you on patch behaviour. I also only use the standard BA.
FYI: IIRC, you don't need a detect element in the main bundle if you use the main bundle upgrade code. You don't need to use the upgrade code. It can be any unique GUID. In this case you need the Detect element in the main bundle (so it knows to look for related bundles of that GUID). I would recommend this approach. Rob here (one of developers) also recommends this approach so you can easily tell your major upgrade apart from your related bundles in your custom BA. Reason I recommend this is when I started out using related bundles I used the upgrade code at first but during testing I found a bug where during a major upgrade of the main bundle the add-on bundles would sometimes not uninstall when they were supposed to or would be uninstalled when they should have remained. See bug 3865.
