It makes perfect sense. Going WOT in 6th when going only 45mph builds too much load, hence the limp mode. It's happened to me as well. Just downshift and it likely will not happen again. Whether it's tuned or not, you still shouldn't do it - that's just improper operation. Just because it doesn't go into limp mode, does not mean that it's not putting unnecessary stress on the motor.
