The stated reason for why he has Madness Enhancement EX is "Because it is a very special summon and because Gilles de Rais is much more famously known as the name Bluebeard, even Saber will be given the Mad Enhancement Skill." Stated another way, Caster is the more well known and thus standard Gilles de Rais summon, and thus, be considered his "sane state" we then play by the rules of Jack the Ripper from Fate/Strange Fake where Caster is so insane that when he gets buffed by Madness Enhancement it means insane x insane = sane. And again, there is one other recorded case of this in Fate/Strange Fake. Though it should be noted Strange Fakes out to this was to give it a "null" or "__" rank, similar to Fate/Extra Assassins NP. But I'm assuming the developers for Fate/Grand Order never built in the functionality for null rank skills or NPs which is why they went with EX to give the same sense as "off the scales". (this is probably the reason why we only have the Lancer version of Li Shuwen and not his Assassin form as well, even though his Assassin version was first.)
