android google-play-services android-2.3-gingerbread leaderboard

Google play services 6.1.11 (....-012) are crashing when trying to open leaderboard on android 2.3.5 and 2.3.6

While testing my latest android game on 2.3.5 the leader boards (using Google play services) kept crashing although I used previously tested code in other games. So I tried out apps from the play store, and noticed that all apps are crashing when opening the leader boards on android devices with 2.3 Is this a bug in google play services? (I am using the API9+ version of PLay services)

Test devices: HTC ChaCha 2.3.5 Samsung Galaxy GIO 2.3.6

Anyone has an idea? Do have have an android 2.3 device that currently has a game with play services leaderboards successfully opening?

Thank you

EDIT3: I opened a defect for the issue since the new versions of play services did not fix it: https://code.google.com/p/play-games-platform/issues/detail?id=194

feel free to star the issue

PS: you might not get crash reports in your developer console because the game continues to run it is the services/leaderboards activity that crashes

EDIT2: Issue still present on 6.1.83 !

EDIT1: Adding the stack below, it seems that there is a resource missing which is in the GUI of the leaderboard, and as far as I know, the developer cannot fix it in his app because the play services project will be used is the one fetched from the play services version running on the user's device right?
