If you read the notation reference carefully, you'll see that only the
*first* pitch to be removed is preceded by ^. (6 examples in under Extended
and Altered Chords).
What would have worked is
c:m11^7.9

The automatic chord namer for LilyPond is not good on altered and extended
chords. Hopefully I'll get to it this summer. In the meantime, you can fix
it by adding your own chord name exceptions. It's a bit cumbersome for a
workaround, but it takes care of everything except bass notes, I think.
BTW, Tim, thanks for jumping in to offer help. Unfortunately, relatively
few who ask for help end up offering it. We appreciate having you around.
