That makes sense and is something I have experienced, which was why I 
suggested using the current layer only. I can see that deactivating all 
layers in the stack other than the current layer should address the 
problem.
Another thought regarding making this particular clone/patch fix, is to 
move the clone/patch step up in your workflow do that it is done before 
all other adjustments.

i.e.: duplicate the background layer, and make the clone/patch 
correction on the current background copy. Then start your adjustments 
on subsequent adjustment layers.

Also, if you use NR make that the first step in the workflow after any 
clone/patch work, and finish whith whatever sharpening method you have 
chosen (Smart Sharpen, or USM).
