I wasn't previously aware of this patch, so it's not currently in
Rhythmbox at all. Since the Coherence plugin is written in python, you
can just apply the patch to your installed version without rebuilding
anything. Something like this:

$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins/
$ cp -a /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/upnp_coherence
~/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins/
$ cd ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins/upnp_coherence/
$ wget -O - 'http://coherence.beebits.net/attachment/ticket/189/upnp_coherence-playlists.diff?format=row'
| patch -p0

.. not that I actually tried that.
