That can't be an intended function???? Having someone lose all their buffs when they don't die..... Surely that's a mistake or a failure in coding...

It may not have been original intent of the EQ devs, but it is how it worked back in the day, which is why it is replicated here.
The game would load your character naked, then populate your items after zoning. If you zoned with less hp than what your items provided, you would be dead since you essentially had negative hp. Instead of this outcome, the game instead strips your buffs and loads you fresh.
It was eventually removed beyond the server's proposed timeline due to mudflation of gear adding so many HPs that you could zone at 40-50% hp and get your buffs stripped.
