If I calculate correctly, starting now with an 8 months release schedule
would result in 11.2 July 2009 (since 11.1 was December 2008), not
November 2009 (which sounds to me like 11 months).

What am I missing ?

Beside that, personally I would prefer the slightly longer 8 month cycle
over the 6 month cycle.

Alex, you're partly right. Dec plus 8 months would end up in Aug, in the middle of vacation season.
The point is that we want to come back to a fixed/predectible roadmap.
Currentyl we're "around" 8 months. With a 8 month cycle starting in Nov we'll see releases in July, March, November always and avoid major vacation season at the end of each development cycle which slows down development, testing - participation in general.
