The cc: stable specifies 4.11+ because the commit it fixes went in in the 4.11 merge window. Is there something incorrect with the tagging that makes you think it should apply to 4.9?
Commit 749494b6bdbb originally showed up in 4.11, but it was then backported to 4.10.2 and 4.9.90. That is why I tried to apply it to 4.9.y and when it did not work, sent out the rejection notice.
