You queue up a batch for Shared Files containing Simple Filter and Waiting Eyes.
Didn't trigger the "patience" bonus. Either it's not just "not first in batch", or defense doesn't count?
ETA: it worked another time. Perhaps CF check, or not first round in the hack?
From a little testing, it's looking like functions that include defense don't count. I've tried leading with Secured Command, Secured Search or Defensive Encryption and didn't get the bonus. A batch of Secured Search, Direct Command, Waiting Command did work, though.
There are various subtleties to how the "+ to Leading Batch" bonus work too — I'm pretty sure you can use, say, Experimental Function+Brute Strike and still get a bonus to Offense with Reforged Sword active. I don't think it checks explicitly if it's the first function used, but based on how the batch has been built up? And blocked functions can throw things for a loop too.
(I just noticed Lantern Bomb also behaves differently when not first — I've never played around with it though. To investigate.)
That would make sense. Might also explain the Defensive Encryption "unexplained data" if the defense is not "used up."
Got this result, which waiting seems working while doing more or less "nothing":
You carefully wait in your web for the information to flow to you. (+1 View)

EDIT: And a full dump of batches I've summited, and if they got a bonus it's written in the first column. This does NOT take into account blocked functions (eg. via Midgard Shield), need to look at it more. The bold line have multiple results (either because something got blocked or another factor other than just the batch.

EDIT more: crossed out a few data points above that were affected by Midgard Shield blocking things (did not catch them all yet).
EDIT again: There are definitely some rounds where Waiting x does not trigger when it is not first (and nothing blocked). These ~eight below are the only exceptions in about 300 data points:
You queue up a batch for Basic Gatekeeper containing Brute Strike and Waiting Lash. You batter at the Gatekeeper, but it remains standing. The Gatekeeper reports your attack to the system.
You queue up a batch for Posting Interface containing Manual Search and Waiting Lash. From this side, it's easy to cram enough garbage into the post interface to crash it out.
You queue up a batch for Posting Interface containing Forge Blade, Waiting Lash, Modulated Amplification, Manual Search, Forge Orb, and another Manual Search. You reforge part of your system's Hardening into a blade You amplify the attack through your Midgard Player. You reforge part of your system's Hardening into a glaring eye. From this side, it's easy to cram enough garbage into the post interface to crash it out. You feed in enough to corrupt the library too. It crashes a moment later.
You queue up a batch for Obscuring Veil containing Disk Browser and Waiting Lash. You dug around trying to penetrate the veil, but didn't end up with the necessary amounts of insight and force to bring it down
