Difficulty bug?

Firstly, if I understand correctly, the difficulty bug means that all 
levels of difficulty in the game are exactly the same. Is this true? Or 
is it just there's not enough difference.

And, does the difficulty bug also have an effect on the CE version of 
X-Com 1? I read something about it still being an issue after some X-Com 
patch, but it wasn't clear to me if it was just for the original DOS one 
or for the newer one.

I recently played it again and beat it on one of the middle difficulty 
levels and don't want to waste my time playing another game at a harder 
level if it's just going to be more of the same.

Thanks.
