The theoretical strength should be at least 2/3 since the load is shared by the other side of the loop. so 2/3 of the rope gets 1/2 of the load and 1/3 gets the other half. The wound and taped tail will allow the cut ends to carry some load.
Check out this link! Look for the Farmer's Eye Splice. They say it is full strength when 2 or more clamps are used.
