The affected patterns include:
bozo, bumps, spotted, noise3d(), all of which are identical. (well, 
noise3d() can be used as a function pattern, and they aren't identical 
in normals, though bozo, spotted, and noise3d() should be more useful in 
normals now)
dents
agate
crackle(with "solid" on, at least)
granite
wrinkles
And of course, the ridged multifractal functions. In addition, anything 
using turbulence will be affected.

However, "affected" can simply mean the image generated by the pattern 
will change, the difference is probably not very noticeable most of the 
time in the more complex patterns. And there isn't any difference in 
actual use.
