You misread the announcement. You need to have the ext4-based ldiskfs in order to use > 8TB OSTs. This one does not have the "force_over_8tb" option (but instead a "force_over_16tb" option). I wonder if it makes sense to just disable this option for the ext3- based ldiskfs and require that anyone using > 8TB OSTs use the ext4- based ldiskfs? That would avoid any confusion/problems as above.
