I don't know your answer with certainty, so I won't answer it.

I do know a tool I would trust to have this correct, though:

HFNETCHK, in the latest version from:

http://hfnetchk.shavlik.com

See what that has to say about your system.

I understand your skepticism, and, as I say, I don't know the answer, but
sometimes patches are revised and reissued with the same number, and
sometimes patches don't, in fact, get applied, although there's no clear
appearance of failure.
