It is, indeed. It happens that both these colors are out of sRGB gamut. 
The monitor is not able to reproduce them, and the CMM does choose
some other near colors by its gamut remapping algorithm.
So, when you decrease L, the resulting color is also out of gamut, and 
depending on CMM, you will see it reddish, but this is because the original
color, that one of Lab 85, 0, 144 has also this red component. But it is 
clampled by the monitor to its maximum red primary.

If you have photoshop handy, try the colorpicker. The gamut warning 
pops up on these colors.


Regards,
Marti.
