The important detail from the XML is <filename>T77_01170100.bin</filename>, which strongly suggests that the correct version (1.17.01) has been included in the archive, despite the erroneous description.
Sometimes it is useful to expose metadata such artifact filenames within firmware archives, or even just the artifact filename itself. This would have helped with #294 where it would now appear that the correct version was actually published (1.17.01 at https://support.hp.com/au-en/drivers/swdetails/hp-elitebook-x360-830-g8-notebook-pc/model/38460789/swItemId/ob-329465-1), but the description refers to an older number that was never published by HP (1.11.04).
It is possible to see the metadata manually by searching the fwupd.org website, downloading the archive, unpacking the .cab and inspecting the XML file: https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devices/com.hp.laptop.system.T77.firmware https://r2.fwupd.org/lvfs-prod/52b379010e4162c1ca4287a3586504a4e78da63335d9f800f5a7d625a7cb99dc-T77_01170100.cab
