We have smoothed out level progression from 50-60. This should
mitigate the "penalty effect" that occurs in levels 51, 54 and 59. Note
that it will cost the same experience to level from 50 to 60 as it did
before. Also, death experience loss will appear different in some
levels. This is an unfortunate side effect that must remain to prevent
some experience exploits.
You know, now that I read this, I remember this one. I was 60 or above at the time, but I do remember it being mentioned. Since I left the game before Omens came out, this has to have been close to the time period that the emu code is targeting.

It certainly follows that they would adjust the other "hell levels" to smooth them out when they were able to figure out a good method for doing so.
