  Yes. The radiosity data would be wrong because those new objects have not
been taken into account.
  I don't know if it's completely invalid, or if you can use the saved data
anyways. This might be the case when the additional objects have unnoticeable
effect on the global illumination.

: Can I switch antialiasing on or off, and still reuse the data?

  I think yes.

: Can I render the image at a small size, saving the radiosity values,

  Probably. The quality may suffer, though.
