I rolled up a few guineapigs on EQMac, and the Minor Illusion faction adjustments I have recorded are very complicated indeed. I didn't really know how to get started, so I picked some race/deity combinations that were fairly diverse. I rolled a Human/Agnostic (beginning in Qeynos), Highelf/Tunare, Darkelf/Agnostic, and Darkelf/Innoruuk.
Something that further complicates Minor Illusion faction changes is that the game seems to take into account any faction work that you have done. For instance, when I brought the dark elves to Qeynos, I transformed and /conned a gnoll to find that it was indifferent to me. I killed 6 gnoll pups and tried transforming again, and now the pups are Apprehensive to me when I am affected by Minor Illusion. As some of the data in the loose table below suggests, even the faction gained by turning in your newbie note is enough to change how your guildmaster views your Minor Illusion-ed toon; at each of the characters' home guilds, I was taken Amiably, and after transforming, I remained Amiably.

It may also be worth noting that the Qeynos Monk guild saw my Human/Agnostic Indifferently before transforming, but that dropped to Apprehensive after Minor Illusion-ing myself, so really, the faction adjustments are completely willy-nilly. The only way I can think of to refine my method is to roll a toon of each and every Enchanter race/deity combination and, while getting cash for the spell scroll, avoid killing any mobs that would give a faction change. Someone please tell me you can think of another way!
All bats, rats, and beetles who normally glower dubiously became Indifferent to all four of my test subjects. Deathfist Pawns changed from scowling to Indifferent. Gnoll pups /conned Indifferent for Minor Illusion until I killed a few, at which point they would become Apprehensive.
In regard to the infravision effect, yes on EQMac, Minor Illusion does grant infravision. It also caused me to grunt like a burly man while taking hits in combat, so I'm afraid that is indeed Classic.
