The patch has a slight flaw.

Here's the post-patched code:

// Render the view like Views would do.
// @see views_embed_view()
$view = views_get_view($view_name);
// Embed the original element into the view so you can pick it up later if needed
$view->viewfield = $element;
if ($view && $view->access($display)) {

views_get_view() will return empty if the view doesn't exist. If this happens, then $view->viewfield = $element; will instantiate $view as a standard object. At this point, the first part of the if ($view && $view->access($display)) if statement passes, but as a standard object has no access method, PHP throws a fatal error.

I've attached a revised patch where the $view->viewfield = $element; line is moved inside the if ($view && $view->access($display)) statement.
