I know well how format-patch output can be used, but in the vast majority of patch-including messages I send, I include format-patch output mainly as an FYI, *following* commentary that does not belong in the log, so it's ok there -- desirable, even. I find it slightly backwards to have to put non-log (i.e, intro commentary) *after* the real log, and that's why I've developed this habit. I'll try to remember to do it the other way when the recipient is more likely to apply the patch.
