Developer adds some patches for security fix. And only commits part of his
changes (accidently) at one time. Pkgsrc user builds new package that
ignores patches which doesn't properly fix for security issue.

I caused this problem a few months ago with Apache. It was mentioned at
that time that PKGSRC_PATCH_FAIL on unknown patch file was a good idea by
another developer. I just never got around to committing it and wanted to
verify again.
