Except for some XY-coordinates and order of objects/connections there shouldn't be a difference. I've never heard of such a problem and never had one, although I'm using Pd (vanilla) on both Ubuntu and OSX (and use patches cross-platform). I don't know if some different text encodings have been used in older versions. Maybe others know more about text encodings et cetera. If you want to be shure try to retype a small file instead of copy/paste. I once even typed a text file on a Windows computer and opened it later at home as a working pd-patch.
