I'd be very surprised if git is modifying your patches without telling you. It's probably Gmail trying to be clever. Telling git-imap-send to send as an attachment (--attach) might fix the issue. Or, if you're already doing that, maybe turning it off would fix it ;)
I don't know how others use gmail - but I have had problems using patches coming out of 'Save as' from gmail's web front end with that sort of problem (and the same patch e-mail arriving at my other imap/pop3 account doing okay), until I found the 'show original' tab under gmail's menu selections.
Also, there is an -l option for GNU patch to cope with extra white spaces.
