This actually turns out not to be true. I just applied the patch to a test db without shutting down and when I ran the confirmation sql I got the updated results:

SQL> select to_timestamp_tz('20070311 00:00:00 US/EASTERN','YYYYMMDD HH24:MI:SS TZR') + to_dsinterval('0 08:00:00') TEST from dual;

TEST
