A patch is often (though not always) a derived work of the parent code, is it not? Therefore a derived-work patch to copylefted code (not sure about BSD) would also have to be released under the same license.

Wrong. So long as the two licences are compatible, WHAT licence it is is irrelevant.
What matters is that the two different *copyrights* can be distributed together. If the licences are compatible then that's fine.
Okay, it's *discourteous* to use a different licence, but it's not a problem.
