You're not interpreting that example properly. Since in a group all characters progress at the same %, but those with penalties require more experience to level, those with experience penalties take a larger share of the experience. That's the whole problem. The cleric gets less experience because the cleric does not require as much experience to increase in level.

Wizards have a 10% experience penalty, which is why in that case the wizard takes more experience than the cleric.
