Pink mob XP penalty for awakened?

I have been told that since a recent update, awakened characters suffer a penalty in XP and SP when killing pink mobs. Is this in fact true? I did a cursory check for update notes and didn't find anything. While in Bloody Swampland last night, I did find that some of the yellows offered more XP than some of the reds. If someone could point me to those notes, I would appreciate it.Thanks.

Changes to XP
The character level cap has increased from 85 to 99. The amount of XP necessary for characters of level 20 through 85 to level up has been reduced.

A character of level 84 or lower will not gain XP or SP from killing a monster that is 11 or more levels higher or lower than the character’s level. A character of level 85 or higher will receive an XP/SP penalty when hunting monsters that are three or more levels higher or lower than the character’s level. The penalty increases proportionally to the level difference.
