These Enve are hookless and their chart is for recommended pressure. Their max pressure (bottom line, in red) is probably where they start to be concerned about tires blowing off of the rim (plus a bit of safety margin). The Mavic chart is not for suggested inflation values, but for max inflation values. Do they have any hookless designs? I'm not aware of any, and that could certainly account for the discrepancy.
In any event, I'm in the 85-90kg region and 70psi is more than adequate on my 30mm tires with 17mm int width rims; given the significantly wider rims, the recommended Enve pressures don't seem out of line to me.
