Should it say partially blocked or not say anything?

Not say anything.

Some of the feedback we've gotten about Partial Blocks is that Block Log stigma is real — it can be viewed as a badge of shame. With some small UI tweaks like this we can downplay the fact that a user is partially blocked — that it's not the same as a sitewide block and much less of a deal.

Do we want to do the same for Special:ActiveUsers?

Yes, I would say anywhere there is a list of users like this would be the intention. :)
