I decided to test out the downshifting to 1st gear at higher speeds on my commute home, and got different results. According to the shift indicators on the dash, you can downshift to 1st all the way up to 34 MPH. I tested this once, at 32 MPH, and it immediately went down to 1st, and revs went just shy of the redline.
That was in Sport mode, in M. Didn't try "normal" mode.
Perhaps the allowable shift range is shorter in normal mode (limited to shifts that will end up <6k RPM), which is why you couldn't do it faster than 29 MPH? If this is the case, and your tests in sport mode were not really in sport mode (because you have to select the mode in D), that would explain the discrepancy.
