The Launchpad bug description has a pretty good example -- if you place the KiCad logo (from the library) on a silk layer, you can't interact with it when using high-contrast on the silk layer without this patch. But if you place it next to another component that has non-silk data (i.e. pads, etc) you can't select or move that component from the silk layer.
