I would suggest that you ask for volunteers and developers on the plugin list 
to apply the patch and report any problems they find, and then make a decision 
based on the feeback from that exercise.

For what it's worth, I've applied the patch to all my installations and have 
noticed no change in behaviour at all on a range of desktop and mobile 
browsers, however I'm only using plugins supplied as standard with 
Squirrelmail.
