The stacking must be a bug. It doesn't make any sense as far as game design to stack only differing levels.
The original intent would have to be one of these two:
(1) Only the highest level should take hold.
(2) All protection buffs should stick regardless of level.
It may be a low enough bug priority that it remains in the game for a long time. In that case, there would be a big outcry from the community that got used to the buff stacking. (although, the devs tend to not care about public outcry. eg. GCD in PL) Also, sometimes a bug becomes a feature if the result is interesting enough that the devs decide it doesn't cause any harm and its kind of cool.
I think it will get fixed to not stack, and maybe they will give us free re-specs for a week so we stop complaining.
