if a command parses as a patch, do not attempt to run it (#3382)

sometimes the model forgets to actually invoke `apply_patch` and puts a
patch as the script body. trying to execute this as bash sometimes
creates files named `,` or `{` or does other unknown things, so catch
this situation and return an error to the model.
