turned out it was the former and not the latter  ;-)  just
glimpsed /var/log/messages and duh...

Dec 10 20:37:45 srv1 kernel: audit(1134272265.967:0): avc:  denied
{ read } for  pid=15793 comm=httpd name=weatherdotcom.php dev=dm-0
ino=4473210 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=root:object_r:tmp_t
tclass=file

applying the patch within tree created an selinux issue which I didn't
detect because I was watching /tmp/horde.log but creating the patch file
and copying it in (overwriting the old) didn't suffer from the selinux
context issues.

thus a simple...
chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t /var/www/html/horde/ -R

would have handled it fine - reporting it here for anyone else who
follows in my stumbling footprints
