For the Man and Pod modules, I can think of possible issues, because
a
space is not be equivalent to a tab (e.g. at the beginning of a line, or
when the tab is used for alignment). However, all these are theoric, and I
could not make pages (that would not have been considered buggy) showing
any issue (in these cases, the document should have use verbatim blocks).
From perlpod(1):
A verbatim paragraph is distinguished by having its first character be a
space or a tab. (And commonly, all its lines begin with spaces and/or
tabs.)
And from memory, the groff behaviour is to consider as verbatim any
paragraph containing a white char (space or tab) at the first position of
any line (not only the first one).
But as Jordi said, such paragraph won't get canonized anyway.
I think that this patch won't break anything.
