in germany, the first one implies that cyclists are limited to a myx speed of 
ca. 6km/h, so yes for us it makes a difference.

If it's not legally a footway or cycleway, I thus tend to use

highway=path
foot=designated
bicycle=yes

highway=path
bicycle=designated
foot=yes

to express if the way is more a footway or a cycleway.

Cheers,
