I don't know if there is a risk or not. I don't want to find out. I see it like this. A patch is designed to adhere to and seal an inflated tube.Don't know what this risk is that you talk of, but then I do also carry a patch kit as well. Never had a patched tube fail during storage.
Apply it to a deflated tube, apply talc, roll up as compactly possible, cover in cling film and stuff in a bag for 12+ months. The patch isn't designed, in my view, to work this way but most likely does.
For the sake of £3-4 I like the comfort of a new tube. I also carry a repair kit.
