There is likely a breakpoint after the patch, and it's sort of a
bug that darcs doesn't explain that.

Darcs should say something like:

  No patches selected!
  Stopped looking at tag <foo>.

Darcs stops looking at the first breakpoint for efficiency
reasons. Breakpoints are created at tags when you run Optimize.
If you say 'darcs unpull --from-tag <bar> -p <name>' darcs will
instead look at all patches between <bar> and the end of the
inventory. Or perhaps simpler 'darcs unpull --from-patch <name>
-p <name>'.
