There is a TVS on the MMM which limits these spikes to something around 26-28v.

This is a double-edged sword. If you make the LVC too sensitive, it false trips all the time. If you make the LVC less sensitive to spikes, battery or ESC damage could occur. So, the LVC probably looks at the voltage over a set time and if it falls consistently below a certain value, it trips.
