Yes I have a Mac and I am glad to help, so I gave it a test run tonight.  The 
first thing I did was apply the patch  then I ran idle from the console like so:
./python.exe Lib/idlelib/idle.py

For testing I used a simple print command to print to stderr:
sys.stderr.write("spam/n")

which I got the output of
spam/n6

I also tried to use the newer print function:
print("fatal error", file=sys.stderr)

Python 3.4 on the Mac behaved exactly the same way with or without the patch.  
I got the stderr output in the Python shell and nothing appeared in the 
console.  With the patch applied I saw no dialog box to capture the stderr 
output.  Maybe I didn't perform the test correctly?

Another thing to consider is for Mac IDLE runs in a special mode via 
macosxSupport.py which I turn on by forcing runningAsOSXApp() to always return 
True.  Even after setting runningAsOSXApp() to true a dialog box does not 
appear when writing to stderr.

Maybe I am not testing this patch correctly? Let me know if I can do anything 
else to help, thanks.
