If you compare the first patch with `dired-get-marked-files' (d-g-m-f)
you might change your mind:
(d-g-m-f) returns a list with the file at point when there are no 
marked files.  The first patch follow similar idea.

There is one, ibuffer-current-buffer.
My point is that patch1 allow me to implement 
'ibuffer-copy-filename-as-kill' (i-c-f-a-k) very similar as 
'dired-copy-filename-as-kill' (d-c-f-a-k).  That is nice to me.
