it's a level 5 mob, surely it is tuned for a dude wearing a bunch of cloth and patchwork armor?

That is exactly correct. Haynar's formula is designed to prevent someone with like 150 AC from always taking minimum damage at level 5.
Going from 23 AC to 55 AC gave me a 35% damage reduction at level 5. Going from 55 AC to 100 AC would be a huge boost uncapped.
Occam's razor suggests Haynar put this low level AC cap in so low levels with high AC will still have a bit of a challenge when fighting mobs of roughly equal level. I don't think it is more complicated than that.
