Merlin negative G cutout too quick?

Can this be correct? We all know the story of negative G and the later Tilly Orifice but would our Fighter Aircraft engines ever have been so susceptible to Negative G that it is impossible to fly them straight and level without them constantly misfiring/puffing black smoke?

I cant even set up trim to fly level without it nearly cutting out :/
