The sound of cloaking & uncloaking changed. Was it due to the patch or did I have some long-forgotten sound mod installed?

You may have had old sounds used before. The sounds were redone in higher quality with the release of Gold. There is a "New" sounds folder that contains these sounds, allowing for the use of the new (to Gold) sounds or the older classic sounds. There is a toggle in the Options window (under main menu, not Empire Options) to switch.

The music is not awe inspiring to say the least.

Can anyone fill us in on the DOCUMENTED changes? Has this patch got any real changes?

If someone doesn't do it first, I'll post the history.txt file differences when I get home from work. In a nutshell, there are only a few, very minor, mostly undetectable during normal play changes. My opinion: I think the patch probably wouldn't have been issued at all except it changes the opening screen to advertise for the new publisher instead of Shrapnel Games. The exception is that it upgrades SE:IV classic to the latest revision; which was a sore spot that SE:IV Gold was not released that way. I don't want to raise any dead horses here so let's leave it at that.
