I bet the logic of the code said that if the mobs effective resist was < 1 than it wouldn't have a base resist chance.

Kind of what I am looking at. It could be as bad as 2.5-5%, but that seems like a lot. I set it currently to 1%, and that caused much heartburn. But I also didnt take into account any base resist chance adjustments. I have that in the next iteration, but need to add if mob was debuffed. So I am thinking it really may come down to just capping how much resist chances are adjusted based on level differences between you and mob. That may be what needs a cap it seems like.
