Then I changed the colour in the source, but there is a principal question: Is something wrong and if so, what? And why doesn't this affect the "pattern-pinstripes-diagonal" pattern? Maybe I just missed an important point in constructing patterns in inkscape?
It's hard to visualize what you're talking about without a sample or screenshot. However one thing you should be aware of is this: "Object to pattern" creates a rectangular pattern with its sides parallel to x/y axes. Only after that can you rotate or skew it. So if your existing pattern is rotated or skewed, then converting it to objects and then back to pattern will not give the same result. If you want to edit it, first rotate the pattern so it's rectangular, convert to objects, edit, convert to pattern, and rotate back to the original angle.
