The PCI_EXP_DEVCTL_EXT_TAG bit controls the behavior of the function as a
Requester.  As far as I can see, it has nothing to do with whether the
function supports 8-bit tags as a *Completer*, so the implicit assumption
of the spec is that all Completers always support 8-bit tags.  My guess is
that's why the ECN thought it would be safe to enable extended tags by
default.

If that's the case, this is just a defect in the device (the Completer),
and we should blacklist it.  Looking at the PCIe Capability version might
happen to correlate with Completer support for 8-bit tags, but that looks
like just a coincidence to me.
