My only speculation is that it's considering two-pair hands differently than in normal, high-hand poker. I would assume it's looking at what you call "eights-up" more like "fours-down." Which, in this topsy-turvy world, would be a better (lower) hand than the "fives-down" ("sixes-up") in the former hand.
I'm not saying this means of evaluation is right, but that was my thinking on...uh...its thinking. :)
