David's admonition tells me I'm doing it wrong, and that I should
submit the stable patch to Jeff as well.  Am I right?

I usually encourage a more-parallel process where you simply email 
stable@kernel.org with the upstream commit id of the change(s) in question.

Right, and if Jeff wants to work things that way for the
networking drivers that's fine.

Personally, I like to make sure some time passes between when
a fix goes into Linus's tree and when I push it into -stable
because time is often what shakes out the last remaining problems
introduced by some change no matter how seeming obvious the
patch is.
