Default Underwater Encumbracne Weirdness

Has anyone elkse noticed that encumbrance values act very oddly underwater?

It seems like there is some sort of special modifier which adds 1 to all encumbrance values underwater. Sea serpents, for example, have a base encumbrance of 4 and no armor. Yet it always displays encumbrance 5 underwater. Sea king has a base enc of 2, yet underwater it always shows as enc 3.

I haven't seen this mentioned before, I only noticed it myself as part of the Unit DB update process. It affects aquatic, amphibian and poor amphibian units without any discrimination, so this must be a property of the sea terrain type affecting the units. Water slowing down or something.
