Adam,

Thanks very much for taking the time to look at this.  The Providers.pm
changes to which you are referring are specifically associated with this
entry in the release notes:

1)  The SAME target in tcrules now generates correct iptables-restore
    (ip6tables-restore) input.

Those changes were made to correct that problem.

Also note, that due to a mistake in the 4.4.11.6 release, some necessary
changes were left out (namely some changelog and release notes entries,
as well the last bit of changes dealing with the SAME target issue).  I
have attached updated diffs.

Regards,

-Roberto
