Yes, it is expected perf regression compared to Python 3.5 and 2.7 when pass keyword arguments and single var-keyword argument (because 3.6 uses BUILD_MAP_UNPACK_WITH_CALL, while 2.7 and 3.5 don't need it for this case). In case of multiple var-keyword arguments (all versions need BUILD_MAP_UNPACK_WITH_CALL) even unpatched 3.6 is faster than 3.5.
