Interesting point. I haven't noticed that... I run the Proline wing on my car. Admittedly, I just got the car, and may not push the car as hard as you do... but I've NEVER seen that car push, not even a little.

I've noticed a lot of guys running some extra weight added to the rear of the Losi. My thought is that the high downforce wing has the same effect as adding weight on higher speed turns, but allows the car to still rotate on the slower, tighter turns. I could be wrong though.

As you said the car jumps really nicely with the high downforce wing... although a Losi is pretty good over jumps to begin with.
