Maybe its because the stays dont have enough tabs for the hips, so that it spreads out two much at the center back bottom.

Those underwear patterns look like they have come straight from Norah Waugh's "Corsets and Crinolines." The corset is laced edge to edge in the Simplicity pattern, which I prefer not to do, and I always have the back edges level, so no, in my opinion, that inverted "V" is not correct.
