This patch was released for fresh installs - not upgrades.... so, instead of releasing a "changed SQL" - they release a "fresh install SQL" one....

Why do they do this? Well - I guess there are many reasons - but my guess is that the main reason is so you need to pay someone (BoonEx, ModMySite, etc.) to do the upgrade for you.

To "squash" this - someone needs to take the old dolphin v5.2 SQL file, and the new v5.2.1 SQL file - and see what the differences are - and then come up with an SQL upgrade script - for the people who are already running v5.2 but want to apply the v5.2.1 patch.
