Yes they are (mostly). I've successfully patched from version 1.1.0 up to
version 2.1.115, with only the occasional tarball to check. I've just
verified my source with 2.1.115.tar.gz (previous downloaded tarball was
2.0.0, I think)

Update your version of patch. Early versions of patch-2.5 had bugs.
patch-2.5.3 seems OK.
