Lucy doesn't go far back enough, but in place of the "Resist Adjust" spell mod there was another mod in the spell dat that was basically Lure(#) - the # could be anything from 1 to 9 I believe and the exact resist adjustment was calculated somewhere else.
During the resist overhaul you mentioned they changed how this was displayed in the spell data to the Resistadj mod but Dragon AEs and fears were definitely "Lures" well before this patch.
Edit:
If you don't believe me, check out the history for Dragon Fear on the Test server, some other dragon AEs have similar modifications (The Hoshkar one probably had its changes made on Test before Lucy started cataloging changes):

Basically you can conclude that Lure(6) was equivalent to -200 resist adjust in the previous system. |
I was aware of the Lure component, but the Diseased Cloud AE doesn't have that.
The change to the resist code was September 2002. That Lure swap for Fear was August 2002.
Lucy started March 2002. I fail to believe the Diseased Cloud had its Lure removed and replaced with -150 resist adjust 6 months before the patch.
Also the effect you linked is Dragon Fear. The AE they are listed as using is Dragon Roar (which had no Lure component), this is the effect used today on these dragons. Unsure if they swapped these effects at some point, but Alla has the Old School + Kunark dragons using Dragon Roar (no Lure mod) and the Velious dragons using Dragon Fear (Lure mod). On live today:
