To reproduce the error try the following case:

+ root (domainrecord A.org)
|
+--+ subsite (domainrecord B.org)
|  |
|  +--+ subsubpage

Imagine you call the subsite by calling the domain "B.org".
Now a link on the subsite to the "root"-page will fail, because the link don't get a domain prepended and
is not reachable thru "B.org", but need to be called with domain "A.org".

With the patch applied, this scenario works.
Additionally you can "force" prepending domains. This means you can force that all links to subsite or 
subsubpage are prepended with "B.org", even if they were reachable thur the current domain (like A.org)

I would not update all domain records, as suddenly all domains got prepended after you update your 
installation. It won't break any link to do so, but you would not expect.

But i also think for new records it makes sense to set the forced flag by default.
The user then has the chance to decide himself, and got a useful default value.

if i'm right "is_siteroot" is (in core) only in use in CONTENT-slide and some stuff in the be page tree.
Beside of that, extensions like realURL, depend on this flag.
