ok.  you might want to consider that change as a separate patch to be
applied after mine.  i use subversion on a couple of my own projects
and i make it a habit of defining each of my commits to represent a
single, well-defined "change".

so *my* patch would represent simply taking what's there and making it
consistent.  *your* patch is different -- it represents adding actual
new functionality.

at least, that's the way i look at it.  how you choose to do it is up
to you but making your submission a separate commit means it can be
backed out separately if something goes wrong without affecting the
rest of it.
