I'll jump in here, and hopefully what I say is correct...
As far as I know, the radiation from an antenna doesn't depend at all on
what you may connect to its feedpoint which might make it tuned. If you
build a loop antenna, how it radiates is how it radiates and you can't
change that. (I think this doesn't include the case where you make a loop,
fed at one end, open the FAR end and insert a tuning capacitor there, which
makes it a different animal.)
The general pattern for loops, as I understand it, is:
(1) A full wave loop radiates broadside to the loop, with a null in the
plane of the loop.
(2) A small loop, which includes both physically small loops, as well as
building a full wave loop for some band but then using it at lower
frequencies, tends to radiate more in the plane of the loop, eventually
having nulls broadside to the loop, for small loops. (Of course ground
might intervene and change this pattern somewhat.)
(3) Using a full size loop at higher frequencies, such that it is multiple
wavelengths long, developes nodes in its pattern and also tends to radiate
more in the plane of the loop, than broadside.
In the figure you mentioned, adding the tuning capacitor and transformer
doesn't change the relative distribution of currents along the sides of the
loop, so the pattern will be unchanged. It just helps you create a better
match for the feedline and/or rig.
