I'm almost positive that on live, Red servers caused no exp death when you drowned or fell to your death. My brother had to do a ghetto gate (bank your gear and kill yourself) and I told him to go for a swim since it shouldn't cause exp death, but it did.
either way here is a link to something where people are talking about it (granted this conversation took place in 2009) but is specifically referencing zek servers and rezzes.

I realize this doesn't meet the criteria of proof from a classic era timeline, but this is as good as I could find on short notice.
