To surprise you even more, here is a recent diagram from Boeing showing clearly that C_L_Max is dependent on Mach number.

If you think that the point of C_L_Max is the point of stall (and let me caution about that, because that is not what the certification regulations say, but it is what many pilots seem to believe), then maybe you could ask yourself why Mr. Boeing is showing point of stall dependent on Mach number. Maybe because it is?
