I'm sorry but this patch is wrong.  iptables(8) explicitly states:

[[[
TARGETS
                                                    … the value of the target,
       which can be the name of a user-defined chain, one of the targets
       described in iptables-extensions(8), or one of the special values
       ACCEPT, DROP or RETURN.
]]]

For future reference, log messages should describe the functional change and
its purpose, not the syntactic change.  That is, it should say something
_beyond_ what can be understood by parsing the unidiff.

Thanks for the patch,

Daniel
