I'm not sure what you're clicking.

If I open:

  http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/1987

and click:

  http://trac.openlayers.org/attachment/ticket/1987/class.2.patch

then scroll to the bottom of the page, and click:

  http://trac.openlayers.org/attachment/ticket/1987/class.2.patch?format=raw

I get a standard unified diff format, which anything that applies
diffs can understand.

If you're just saving: 

   http://trac.openlayers.org/attachment/ticket/1987/class.2.patch

then you're just getting HTML, not even XML, and I don't expect
anything could apply that as a patch, no. :)
