Doesn't the comment in patch 2

  /* Restore the default SIGPIPE signal handling before exiting.  From
     this point on, we prefer to get a SIGPIPE signal to an EPIPE error,
     since close_stdout interprets EPIPE as a failure condition.  */

... also apply as

  /* Restore the default SIGPIPE signal handling before exiting.  From
     this point on, we prefer to get a SIGPIPE signal to an EPIPE error,
     since close_stdout does not interpret EPIPE as a failure
                        ^^^^^^^^
     condition.  */

?  If so, there would be basically no change in the behavior of tee with
patch 2 applied, no matter if close_stdout fails on EPIPE or not.
