I did not say that it would not increase. I said they must remain proportional.

Horse power is just another way to measure torque that also considers RPM. You can take a given torque and RPM and use math to get horse power. This is the reason that torque and Horse power are always equal at 5252 RPM if they are not then the correction factor is really messing up your measurement.

I would suspect that your HP increases in higher gears are either from the correction factor. Or because the weighted drum has higher energy(harder to stop) at higher speeds. It might even be a flaw in the machines sensors.

Thats reason all gear runs are only used to look for lean or rich float or main jet conditions and the actual numbers should not be considered for actual measurement.
