The thread specifically addresses which object data related constants cannot be modified, work, or are problematic in some cases in the most recent patches (Not including the World Editor). This is a list in progress, so it may not yet include all the dysfunctional constants.
Legend:
elements in nonFunctional tables -> Do not work, but do not crash the game.
elements in problematic tables -> Do work, but will crash at certain values.
If you want to test things out, you can use the following script (scripting language must be in Lua):

problematic = {
UNIT_IF_DEFENSE_TYPE, -- Suspected that values exceeding 7 will not behave as intended
-- Values 8 - 15 are just translated up by 8 (hides the armor icon)
-- Values 16 - 23 hide information (translated up)
-- Values 24, 26 display attribute icons (don't know why that happens).
-- Values including 25 and exceeding 26 will crash the game (most likely).
UNIT_IF_INTELLIGENCE_PERMANENT,
UNIT_IF_AGILITY_PERMANENT,
UNIT_IF_STRENGTH_PERMANENT
-- They do not return the updated values when set via
-- BlzSetUnitIntegerField. (Only returns 1).

UNIT_IF_INTELLIGENCE_WITH_BONUS,
UNIT_IF_AGILITY_WITH_BONUS,
UNIT_IF_STRENGTH_WITH_BONUS,

UNIT_RF_FLY_HEIGHT
UNIT_RF_SHADOW_IMAGE_HEIGHT
UNIT_RF_SPEED
-- Some of these may update in game time (They do not immediately
return the assigned value from the setter, though this is mostly speculation).
}
Lua:
problematic = {
UNIT_SF_NAME -- Do not pass "" as a parameter (crashes the game)
-- Appears to modify proper name as well.

UNIT_WEAPON_IF_ATTACK_DAMAGE_NUMBER_OF_DICE
UNIT_WEAPON_IF_ATTACK_MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_TARGETS
UNIT_WEAPON_IF_ATTACK_ATTACK_TYPE
