Apparently you can design a "MTB" system with ultegra/DA road shifters, a DA front deraileur, and a XTR rear derailleur. Add on the XTR front junction box (SC-M9050), you can even get rear gear indicator and synchro shifting.
The 11 speed Ultegra FD is not considered compatible in this set up.

Good find.
According to the chart, Road vs Mtn appear to be governed by the derailleur series being used. This jibes with the information & rumors posted earlier. The chart shows that the "M" (mtn) series derailleurs for the "Mtn" setup group must be used together. Mixing derailleur groups (ie: 1 road, 1 mtn) does not appear in the chart.
