That might be part of it....if you are mixing and matching those
you can expect troubles.

Basically it depends on what the page_perm is for that page, which
is by default "gentable" (and I note you have that). In 4.9.7,
you can set that page_perm in the page properties (icon to left of
internal title).

If someone wants to investigate this for 4.9.7/latest and report back
I will fix things on that. But I will not look at mixed older 
versions.
