I'd say it depends on what the GM will allow under that heading, as not every ability is useful or permitted in every game ( e.g. Spirit Communication in a game with no spirits - and in a little bit, I'm going to edit a note into the opening post about that). I wouldn't allow permeation under PA without an incredibly good fluff, and I'd probably apply some significant limitations if I could think of any that fit the fluff being offered. Likewise for teleportation, and Spontaneous Combustion.

Would it be the same percentage, do you think?

According to the Basic Set p279, yes, based on TL if unlisted (the text box labeled 'Optional Rule: Malfunctions' - TL6 and up are Malf. 17, for example). EDIT: Hexus would either not exist or need to be changed if the GM isn't using the optional rule, of course.
