Can't start new branch in VC with RCS |

I have a single file class-notes.html (with RCS/class-notes.html,v).
I am using rcs in default (locking) mode
The head revision is 8.6. I am the only user and the head revision is
locked by me. C-x v = shows the one simple change I made since 8.6.1
and the file has been saved.
I want to start branch 8.6.1. The manual suggests C-u C-x v v.
C-u x v v asks for a new backend. I do not want to change backends.
If I type RCS, it correctly reports that RCS is the current backend and
exits. If I try 8.6.1, it correctly reports that there is no match (it
is looking for a backend).
Is this supposed to be possible under VC for RCS? I presumably could
achieve my goal using rcs directly from the command line.
Thanks in advance.
