I downloaded the patch this afternoon and took it for a spin on a solo Prince game as America. The AIs all swept the early religions (which is to be expected if you don't start with Mysticism and don't prioritize the beeline to Judaism), but once I got my research machine underway, I ran out ahead in the Classical/Medieval eras and took Confuscianism, Taoism, and Islam. What was remarkable, though, was this:

Now, I was under the impression that a city that had already founded a religion could no longer found subsequent religions under 1.00 (unless, of course, it was your only city). This obviously is not the case with New York (which was my second city to begin with, but managed to found both Confuscianism and Islam), so it seems that restriction has been lifted with the patch, making it possible (if less than certain) to found multiple religions in the same city after building your second city.
Is this indeed a new effect, or did I misunderstand how holy cities were doled out in the release version of Civ 4?
