I don't remember what Gary Surrency at Elecraft said about the problems that were found on 80m that required these components.  You could email him directly.

I just went ahead and installed them in my early K1 (which did NOT have pads for C78 or holes for RFC8) when I built a board with 80m.

C78 = 22 uF, RFC8 = 100 uH

I think it would be best for Elecraft to supply these two components standard with the basic kit so that all K1s would have them.
