Highly unlikely. As we all know, RA2 has one of the most creative copy-protection-mechanisms ever invented: Let you into the game, make it seem like everything is fine, and then...BOOM. Game lost.
If ra2md was really checking gamemd for modifications, you'd get something else. Like "game corrupted, please reinstall" or something. But not something as generic as an Internal Error. As far as I'm concerned, IEs are part of the engine, not of the copy-protection, aren't they? Plus, as if every no-CD-crack would generate a carpet-bombing of IEs...
Are you 100% sure the errors don't occur when your patch is deactivated?
What do you know about the address that's giving you headaches?
Perhaps, as mentioned on DeeZire, try a compatiblity mode? 'cause actually, IEs are less or a problem for me...it's the REs that bit my ass again and again (the point being that I'm using 98SE, while you use XP).
In addition, you said there's a lot of unused space that could be deleted in the exe - if everything else fails, how about not extending the exe, but rather use the space that's free anyway?
