In the Cessnas, it does go back to blanking the tail. I explored that a
fair amount in C170B I used to own. Under the right conditions, full
flaps and full slip would result in nose falling through with loss of a
couple hundred feet. Just how the placard read varied from year to year.
Not sure, but they may have made changes to later 172s to reduce the
hazard. I got a strong burble a few weeks ago on my -10 when approaching
hot and high. Full flaps and a lot of slip felt real uncomfortable and
so backed off on the slip. I was around 95 mph at the time, just slow
enough to get full flaps out and trying to lose excess altitude.

Sadly I personally haven't heard the "why" but just see the placards
or notes in the POH. I guess they aren't expected to tell us
the details but only give us the prohibition... I can only
assume that in some cases it's aerodynamic and other cases it's
fuel or systems related. There are probably far better
sources than myself who could speak to the why on various
airplanes.
