Unless I'm missing something, this patch only renames a function and doesn't change anything, correct?

The actual patch that fixes it is https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/3025 but the build of the one above is the latest git and includes it. I'm just linking to it for the binaries for those unable to compile it themselves.

MOD NOTE:
Please be careful with software from unknown sources
This should be fine


RE: MOD NOTE: the pull tester is maintained by TheBlueMatt, one of the bitcoin core devs. See second post, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/3662



The latest bitcoin git contains a patch that makes the malleated tx's nonstandard and not relayed. Please update your bitcoind and put an end to this.

If you are unable to compile from source, the pull-tester creates builds of all pull requests. This build should be of the latest git.

As a security note, I would suggest compiling from source for anyone with a large balance. The pull-tester version should be safe for relay nodes.
