After additional tests I have to correct myself:
dial-peer voice 911 pots
destination-pattern 911 # 3 digits are stripped
port 1/0:15
!
..........
dial-peer voice 911 pots
destination-pattern 911$ # 3 digits are stripped
port 1/0:15
!
...........
dial-peer voice 911 pots
destination-pattern ^911$ # no digits are stripped. That's what I have been
using all the time on PL racks.
port 1/0:15
!
Sorry for any confusion.

Both dial peers are POTS. The prefix is required in both cases.
Stephen,
Have you tested this? I suggest you try to configure two POTS DP with
destination-pattern 911 and 911$ and without any "forward-digits"/"prefix"
or translation-profile additives. The DP_911$ will complete the call
wherease DP_911 won't.
I personally had it configured many times on PL racks, it always works
this way for me.
FYI, DP with "destination-pattern ^911" also does not require a
prefix/forwardi-digits/translation-profile. I guess this happens because
IOS cannot strip ^ and/or $ from the digit string so it leaves the matched
string intact.
