Looking at the code it's not actually checking the hwloc version, it's 
finding an error condition and suggesting that may be the cause, but it 
sounds like it's not for you.

src/plugins/task/cgroup/task_cgroup_cpuset.c :

         /* should never happen in normal scenario */
         if ((sock_loop > npdist) && !hwloc_success) {
                 /* hwloc_get_obj_below_by_type() fails if no CPU set
                  * configured, see hwloc documentation for details */
                 error("hwloc_get_obj_below_by_type() failing, "
                       "task/affinity plugin may be required to address 
bug "
                       "fixed in HWLOC version 1.11.5");
                 return XCGROUP_ERROR;
         } [...]


If you've got support from SchedMD open a bug with them, but if not and 
you're using the Debian packages I'd suggest opening a bug with Debian 
about it.

Best of luck!
