What probably happened was the programming team was tasked with creating the mana drain feature on spells. But after it was coded and implemented, the game designers, qa testers. etc. discovered that the mana drain feature wasn't a good idea for any of the spells that were being released for the expansion they were currently working on.

This or something like it is extremely plausible. I'm imagining this was a change for test that accidentally got promoted to production, likely lumped in with a bunch of other changes.
This happens in modern software all the time and who knows what version control and deployment system they were using way back when.
