Did you try with the latest drivers?

Catalyst 11.6 seems to have the restriction removed (you don't even need amdoverdrivectrl)

Adapter 0 - AMD Radeon HD 6990
                            Core (MHz)    Memory (MHz)
           Current Clocks :    955           1250
             Current Peak :    955           800
  Configurable Peak Range : [500-1200]     [1250-1500]
                 GPU load :    0%

you need amdoverdrivectrl i think.. look at your current clock and current pleak:)
Current Clocks :    955           1250
  Current Peak :    955           800

You might be right, definitely one of those measurements is in error (since you can't have a current above your peak).   Prior to the patch, if you attempted to set the memory clock below 1250 you would get an error and combining that with the fact that I wasn't able to hit 955 or 960 at 1250.  I'm guessing that this is actually running at 800.  I'll see if I can come up with a better test.
