Every task that I completed after updating my kernel to 4.14.11 have been marked invalid. There are no errors in the stderr output, and the task run-times were roughly the same as before I updated to the kpti patched kernel.
I just updated to the 4.14.12 kernel, and at least so far, the validate errors appear to be fixed. After successfully validating 0% of the tasks that were crunched on kernel 4.14.11, even the small sample size of 2 valids, 4 pending, and 0 invalid, does point to the updated kernel fixing the validate errors. There does appear to be a small performance regression with the patched kernel of roughly 3%. I will monitor it for the next few hours, just to make sure that the invalids do not crop up again.
Sorry to all my wingmen who were waiting on me for their task to validate.
