Question S-76 Nr Limits OEI

This is a question aimed primarily at Nick Lappos if he's around. (Thanks in advance for your support Nick)!

Whilst OEI, the Nr lower limit for the C+ is 93% then 100% whilst accelerating up to Vy but 107% above Vy.

Please could you give a definitive answer why this is so? How critical is this (apart from possibly failing a checkride by busting a limit by accelerating 1 knot over Vy)?

Thanks.
