The current version of quilt will tell you that the specified patch is not applied; it doesn't fail silently. Quilt won't try to list the files that an unapplied patch touches because this can't be done very well: GNU patch uses complicated heuristics to decide which filename it will patch (see Multiple Patches in a File in the diff info pages). You can use utilities like lsdiff for that purpose, but lsdiff will also guess wrong for some patches.
