Full range has no effect on the bitstream. The only difference is that with TV range, the "contrast" of the image is bad, and there's a flag that says whether this should be compensated for or not.
I can imagine some players just ignoring this flag and automatically compensating for it even if they shouldn't, so the blacks and whites will be crushed in the final displayed image, but it will be decoded correctly in any case.
