Okay.

Initially, I was using the config from the host (build) machine. I have
since repeated the kernel compilation by using target machine's config
as well. No change in the results.

Yes, perhaps it is a typo, but the patch actually was applied successfully.

I have used the config from the target machine as well. Same results.
Host (build) machine:
Debian Unstable, AMD64 CPU, running 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem
Target machine:
Debain Testing, Intel 32 bit, currently running 2.6.32-trunk-686
Here are the grub.cfg stanzas for the current running kernel and for my
compiled kernel respectively:
#the default debian kernel
menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686" --class debian
--class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,5)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set
9db23921-b7bc-4f1f-8b31-306f2126af0e
echo Loading Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 ...
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.32-trunk-686
root=UUID=0300e89b-ae92-43f5-b1f0-0d53c2b589ca ro vga=792 quiet
echo Loading initial ramdisk ...
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.32-trunk-686
}
#kernel compiled by me the Debian way
menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-100528-firewire" --class
debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {

}
