ok.

mm so I misunderstood the requirement. I guess my fix was to the second bug you mention (related to greeter) and not to persistence :)
I have not been able to test both bugs (as you mention boot Tails, apply patch, restart gdm3 service, enter wrong persistence pass phrase), restarting gdm3 does not work to me, It does not show me again the greeter or persistence initial menu. I know how to test tails changes by creating an image (https://tails.boum.org/contribute/build/), but I'm confused about changes in software from different repositories (like greeter and persistence menu).

Cheers
