In short: Behave exactly as before. Longer explaination: Without the patch OpenVPN refuses ifconfig-ipv6 and route-ipv6 without tun-ipv6 option because the tun device has not been configured in a IPv6 safe way. With patch it does not refuse the commands. The problem that tun-ipv6 solved was "Method A works with IPv6/IPv4 but might break on old versions of Linux(?) and Method B always works but only IPv4". On Linux the tun device has been opend/configured in different ways for tun-ipv6 and non tun-ipv6 which are both IPv4/IPv6 capable (prepend a header to packet/do not prepend a header) for reasons that are probably lost in history. The patch unifies that to never prepends headers (IPv4 behaviour and Android behaviour). For OS X tun (and utun) has always been opened in the same way no matter if tun-ipv6 was specifiied. So only change for OS X is no longer refusing ifconfig-ipv6 and route-ipv6 without tun-ipv6 option.
