It can be corrected by moving the slider 1 step, and moving it back 1 step to where it was. But I have to do this every time after switching the reader on.
Changing the replacement values in the patch does not affect it.
I also had this problem with every previous patch.
Is it a known problem and is there a fix?

There have been one or two reports of this, but I have never encountered it myself. I suspect it indicates a problem with the device's database that the patch makes more noticable.
When you change the line spacing in a book the device saves the setting in the database for that specific book, and in the configuration file as a global default for books that have not been opened.
If there is a problem writing to the database, then turning the device off and on will cause the information about the book's setting to be lost, and when you open the book again an old value will be read from the database.
If the line spacing value read from the database is not one of the values available on the slider (perhaps because the book was opened before the patch was applied) then the firmware sets the line spacing to the lowest value on the slider. With the line spacing patch this is very noticable because the lowest slider value is very small. With the unpatched firmware it is probably not as noticable, because then most people use the lowest line spacing setting anyway.
All I can suggest is to check your database, either from sqlite with the "PRAGMA integrity_check;" command, or from Calibre using the KoboUtilities plugin.
If there is no problem with the database then I don't know what is going on. But I can say that this problem should not happen, and I can't see any way the patch would cause it to happen (other than making any existing problem more noticable.)
