Because the wastegate is oil controlled.  It's a quirk of the system.  It's not a big deal since the FF goes up as well.

 Walter,
    how does low oil temp cause high MP?

 I don't see how it could increase MP.   I would think it would decrease MP.

I like 100dF as a MINIMUM, but much prefer a higher value.  I am turbocharged and if the oil temp is that low, the MP goes a lot higher as I apply takeoff power.  That's a turbo issue, not an engine issue.  100dF is probably quite adequate for the engine.
