Did you change it right below the "RPM limits" under engine > fuel control > Fuel cutoff under "P/N Cutoff" and thats it? Below that there is a Cutoff RPM vs. Gear table that has a limiter table in that as well. If you haven't looked at it give it a look.

Also, make sure you are not running into the cold engine limiter.

I have never seen this behavior when properly setup, post the tune and log of incidence so that we can have a look.

Post the tune-

Are you logging these rev limit points , or are you going off the factory tach?

Yeah, the factory tach is nothing to compare against; especially in the lower gears.

I had a customer keep tagging a 7K limiter last friday night at the track for his 1-2 shift while his tach read 58-6000...
