Default MEA oddity near Harrisburg, PA?

I have the current Jepp LO 47 chart and there's something odd around
the SEG (Sellinsgrove) VOR (just north of HAR). The MEAs around the
VOR are in the 4000' range, except for V106 to RASHE, which is 14000'.

You wanna see something really wild? Go to

and look at the "HiMEA" file. Right in the middle, the transitional MEA
for V462 is listed as 88000 between FAGIN and NONDA. This obviously
should be 8800, but I don't think it is just a typo on Jepp's part.
When our company's flight planning software generates a low altitude
route through this area, it actually bypasses that one segment, since
our planes can't climb that high. Makes me think that the data is bad
from the FAA.

Happy Flying!
