I understand it to be the other way around: 

In the existing configuration UART1 will drop bytes by being held in
reset until the host initialises the LPC bus (i.e. releases LPCRST#)
during boot.

Xo's change reconfigures the SoC so that UART1 reset state doesn't
depend on LPCRST# (i.e. the host initialising the LPC bus), so it is
immediately useful in that it won't discard bytes.

Xo?
