Is patching t/TEST better than simply using sed to transform the output?

I took a quick look at future versions and t/TEST is modified in both perl 5.16.3 and 5.18.0-RC4. This means the patch will have to be manually updated for each of those version updates. And the patch cannot be upstreamed.

Unless there are clear advantages with patching t/TEST that I have overlooked, I suggest using sed in run-ptest instead.
