My experience, having worked for software vendors, is that you are correct. Patchsets generally get a "modest" amount of regression testing, at best. Just to cheer you up, individual patches may receive practically no regression testing.

Subject: RE:BEWARE 9.2.0.5 64-BIT SOLARIS 2.9
Guys,
I don't know if you remember but I complained earlier about ORA-07445, ORA-0600 errors, database crashing, trace files being generated on :
sql loader processes
moving tables
imports
It was a bug we faced with 9.2.0.5 and it required "based on the bug number" getting the one-off patch. Of course, that was also fun as the one-off patch instructs you to use the PERL installed with Oracle (which didn't work we ended up using /usr/bin/perl with success) - installing the opatch software, etc. BTW, I did look to see first if the patchset 9.2.0.6 was out......so.....
I wondered if Oracle even does regression testing anymore because this problem was not present with 9.2.0.4.
BEWARE - EITHER GO TO 9.2.0.4 OR WAIT TILL 9.2.0.6 would be my advice ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE RUNNING 64-BIT ORACLE ON SOLARIS 2.9
