Yeah, I later submitted another patch which also fixes this issue in a different way:

http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/6488/

There's no action on either of them though.

RandR panning is a really niche and unloved feature which I can understand as it makes the X server more complex than it could be. The panning functionality really belongs in a client application like a compositor.
