"Unable to apply kernel patch" when git quiltimport works locally

Last night/this morning, our mainline and -next builds failed with # Apply patch set FAILED. Two examples:

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/continuous-integration2/actions/runs/2502262517

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/continuous-integration2/actions/runs/2502281053

However, if I use git quiltimport locally at the same SHAs as tuxsuite, the patches still apply cleanly, so I am confused at what is going wrong here...

$ cd $CBL_SRC/linux; and git show -s --format='%h ("%s")'
