Google released version 1.0.2 of the Google App Engine SDK two days ago. If you're using Google App Engine, you should definitely upgrade.

You can find a list of fixed issues in the release notes, including the template cache issue that I was running into.
Also, it's not in the release notes but I just confirmed that the app.yaml skip_files issue has also been fixed. So you don't need the patch any longer.
I also tested the latest version of The GAE SWF Project and it works out-of-the-box with version 1.0.2.

Hi Aral
Your work is impressive
We’ve found that appcfg.py update rejects two of the files in your source code as “too long”
Here’s the error message when trying to upload files to App Engine using appcfg.py update:
