This was perceived as a bug, so the party level limit was put into place to counter this. Unfortunately, it wasn't considered at the time that people could have very similar overall levels but drastically different skill levels and thus could continue to abuse the bug that way.
3) a) I haven't had a chance to speak with Stefan since reading this thread.
3) b) I hadn't learned of the existence of this incarnation of the bug until reading this thread.
3) c) I can't fix it myself.

Yet, somehow you are blaming us "Admins of the past" for not discovering / dealing with this problem earlier. That doesn't make sense. How about working on helping fixing the problem (helping contact Stefan) instead of affixing the blame?
I am helping by talking about it with Björn and I said in this thread:

If it was not intend that people can level in that way in a party Stefan will fix it.
I didn't know that this is a problem that most likely came into being from the new mudlib. I never pretended to have knowledge from programming, now I know that this is not an problem what was also in the past.
Therefore I apologize to blame older Admins for being inactive.
