1) The soversion of the library is '4', that the library version is 4.11.0 is irrelevant to the ABI versioning.
I don't know what list describes which KDE libraries are public and which private, but the relevant parts of the taskmanager API above are shipped and installed by kde-workspace in an exported class as 'public:' methods which makes it public API (and there are a few third-party taskmanager replacements using it, albeit only a few).
If you want to keep using the same soversion as the rest of the SC please add those symbols back, otherwise the soversion needs to be changed to '5'.

2) Yes, this happened after 4.10.80 and is only in 4.10.90
