I haven't been able to try this patch myself yet, but I see a potential problem: the "cookie" variable is declared as a DWORD, while ActivateActCtx expects a ULONG_PTR. DWORD and ULONG_PTR are only the same thing in 32-bit Windows. Also, where are you seeing that these SxS functions are "Vista or later"? My XP kernel32.dll has all of them. MSDN says they're XP or Vista.
