Has that been tested, as that seems pretty wrong if that's true?...
It's not my understanding at all and would mean that those who have
been turning SSLv3 off (via security.tls.version.min) haven't actually
been protecting themselves from POODLE.

I always took that patch to be useful for those who need SSLv3
enabled -- as in, if security.tls.version.min was 0, then that patch
would effectively protect them from downgrade attacks against sites
that support higher TLS versions.
