Yes.  Thanks for taking the trouble to report this bug.

I've committed a fix to master.  I'd be grateful if you would confirm it
fixes the problem properly, or tell me what's not quite right.

CC Mode has always favoured testing features rather than version numbers
and the the base (X)Emacs, so that if a tested feature becomes or ceases
to be available, CC Mode should pick that up automatically.  That is
illustrated by the current case, just that here the actual test used was
suboptimal.  Hopefully it is now OK.
