Given that the ACCESS Netfront BookReader renderer is compliant with the current EPUB 3.0 version and is the renderer used by Kobo for .kepub.epub ebooks and that both ACCESS and Kobo are involved with the Readium EPUB 3 effort, I fail to see any sense in your "yeah, right" comment. BTW, Adobe has joining the Readium Foundation and this may mean that the Readium EPUB3 renderer will have support for Adobe's ADEPT DRM baked in.
I've read several epub3 ebooks on my Kobo and using the ACCESS renderer for reflowable epub3 ebooks works quite well (other than one from Infogrid Pacific that made heavy use of Javascript and CSS animation). Oddly that one also crapped out on iBooks but did look quite decent on my desktop using the Azardi reader.

I use Metazoa's patcher but lookng through the patches, the only one I see as being an actual bug fix would be the Fix Page Breaks bug item which does not seem to work all that well on my Aura HD -- I still get the odd paragraph stopping half way down the page and then a line or two at the start of the next page. Opening one book with overlong paragraphs, I get fewer breaks but they are not completely gone and some breaks show up where the unpatched code the page properly.
