I wonder why that was? Was it because the FM carrier was deviated toward the high end on yellow and starting to approach the end of the heads' frequency response?

Got a reply from Jay Ballard:
"RCA was referring to overdeviation experienced in Low Band color. Yellow with its comparitively high luminance was a challenge that was largely solved with High band, INTRODUCED in the VR 2000 by Ampex. It used a 10 MHz peak carrier that eliminated so called "bearding" (no RF). The same FM parameters were adopted for Type C"
