Thanks for the report. Given that the kernel version is larger than 4.4.0-48, it should be skipping the line that resets the expected value to 0; it looks like the version comparison is falling back to the string version when handling the abi portion of the version (likely due to python-apt not being installed), and because of *that*, it's treating the ABI version of 1000+ as less than 48.
Realistically, the change in the setting as described in bug 1636461 should have made it out to all of the 4.4 kernels we ship, so I've gone ahead and removed that exception path from the test, committed in https://git.launchpad.net/qa-regression-testing/commit/?id=d67eca192876d31892d50ecd410a2b658a8d871a .
