I'm not very familiar with pkcs11 tests, but they do depend on the
native NSS library and depending on the version and supported ciphers
of that version you might run into issues. The best I can tell you is
trying the setup mentioned in the test directory's README:

https://github.com/openjdk/jdk11u-dev/blob/master/test/jdk/sun/security/pkcs11/README

My recommendation would be to read this, use the recommended setup and
then compare test runs before and after patch.

Sorry for not being more helpful.

Thanks,
Severin
