No, both functions are Rec.601, CCIR produces full-range RGB and the
other one limited range.
Its important to note here that "limited range RGB" is really not
something that is typically considered valid, the range is a YUV
concept and converting to RGB should generally use the entire RGB
range.

So in short, the original patch "improves" it to some degree, as the
PAL8 format that subtitles come in should be considered a full-range
RGB format, but its still not the correct HD RGB colorspace.
