Nessus has the appropriate logic to detect superseded patches -- make  
sure your plugins are up-to-date.
Also, if you give it admin credentials, then a file version check  
will be done, hence nullyfing the risk of wrongly detecting a  
superseded patch.

I'd be interested in the specific list of patches which you say  
create false positives and knowing how recent your plugin set it.
