I'd say the most critical is the back row bug, actually all bugs relating to the weapon bits. They're never unset, so if you equip a long range weapon that character will always have a long range attack. The only weapon bit that I know is unset properly is metallic.
Some others, these are also annoying but I'd say the weapon bits are the most broken thing in the game:
- Poison resistance doesn't work.
- The immune property gives 99% evasion.
- The item duplication trick.
- The anyone can equip shields trick.
- "Infinite" arrows when a character only has one remaining and only gets one turn per battle.
Minor cosmetic things:
- Some reflected spells use the wrong palettes.
- The dancing dagger spell uses the wrong palette - I already fixed this.
- Both shurikens use the Shuriken's palette when thrown.
A non-bug that could be modified to help hackers:
- Weakness overrules resistance/absorption for physical attacks. This usually benefits the player, Yang can equip a FireClaw and an IceClaw and attack an IceBeast or FlameDog and damage them even though one of the elements would usually heal them. The problem comes when enemies are given physical attacks, which the game supports but never uses normally, a character wearing the Dragoon armor is now weak against both fire and ice when attacked physically because it resists both. Fire resistance in FF4 implies ice weakness, ice resistance fire weakness, holy resistance dark weakness, and dark resistance holy weakness. You can see how this would cause a problem when you give an enemy one of those elements to attack with and you should be able to resist it yet end up weak against it. The DS version has enemies using physical attacks so they fixed it for that and it didn't cause any real problems, only my claw example above won't work anymore.

I'm sure there are more than this, I just can't remember any off-hand. There are also some very minor ones I didn't list because they don't seem worth fixing at all, like the one I posted the other day about shifting characters around after someone leaves and saving to get an incorrect sprite on the map.
