Sorry, it was my fault, but only for that test, before sending the mail.
With the right slof , issuing:

vlc -vvv --color -I rc --probe dvb:frequency=11766000:fec=2:polarization=V:srate=27500000:program=3401 --lnb-lof1 9750000 --lnb-lof2 10600000 --lnb-slof 11700000

I get the same error (only dvb section logged):

[00000196] dvb input debug: Opening device /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0

                frequency_stepsize = 78
                frequency_tolerance = 0
                symbol_rate_min = 703125
                symbol_rate_max = 45000000

In the "probe" section I see 

frequency_min = 950000
                frequency_max = 2150000

so shuld I use offset (absolute-lof) rather then absolute for the frequency value?

So I've tried 11766000-10600000 (lof2 because absolute freq > slof=11700000):

vlc -vvv --color -I rc --probe dvb:frequency=1166000:fec=2:polarization=V:srate=27500000:program=3401 --lnb-lof1 9750000 --lnb-lof2 10600000 --lnb-slof 11700000

Now something changes but doesn't work yet:

                frequency_min = 950000

                symbol_rate_max = 45000000
                symbol_rate_tolerance (ppm) = 0
                notifier_delay (ms)= 0
