I installed 4.5.1 (build 7568) on my system today running FC2T3 with
today's updates from rawhide. I compiled and ran with no extra
parameters. I also did *not* apply the patch.

I, too, got the "newer than newest supported kernel" warning, but in my
case, Win XP Pro and Win Server 2K3 both worked flawlessly in their
respective VMs.

Could the patch actually be breaking something that has changed with T3?

Cheers,

Chris
