Wouldn't the damping ratio be increased at lower altitudes with denser air, leading to greater risk of instability/flutter higher up?
I don't know that, just asking the question.

Flutter will occur at any altitude, the higher you go, the higher the IAS. Consequently your VNE would increase the higher you go, I am not sure whether they went as far as giving different VNEs according to altitude in those days though..
