The point is that after these commands you end up with:

    A B C D E F G H J
  9 . . . . . . . . . 9
  8 . . . . . . . . . 8
  7 . . + . . .(X). . 7
  6 . . . . . . . . . 6
  5 . . . . O . . . . 5
  4 . . . . . . . . . 4
  3 . . + . . . + . . 3
  2 . . . . . . . . . 2
  1 . . . . . . . . . 1
    A B C D E F G H J

No handicap stones. I did the same experiment with gnugo-3.3.16
and got:

    A B C D E F G H J
  9 . . . . . . . . . 9
  8 . . . . . . . . . 8
  7 . . + . . . X . . 7
  6 . . . . . . . . . 6
  5 . . . . O . . . . 5
  4 . . . . . . . . . 4
  3 . . X .(X). + . . 3
  2 . . . . . . . . . 2
  1 . . . . . . . . . 1
    A B C D E F G H J

So your solution is to upgrade to a more recent GNU Go.

You might consider converting your interface to --mode gtp.
