Since no one was able to answer this question, I did a little research myself. The answer is:

The forcing pathway of the RCP4.5 scenario is comparable to a number of climate policy scenarios and several low-emissions reference scenarios in the literature, such as the SRES B1 scenario.

So no expectation of an exact match, but comparable. And if the German blogger (or anyone reposting the blogger's info) would have bothered to do the same (simple) research I did and then looked at the chart, then he (or she) would've seen that the B1 range and the RCP4.5 range is pretty close... certainly not a 0.9*C difference.
Thank you, me.
