I think it could have something to do with all the secrets that Nightwing was part of. The X-pit probably acts as a psychological/brainwashing device, using subliminal messages coupled with pain, among other things, to "discipline" it's occupants to submission. It might have triggered a PTSD-like reaction in him, especially if he tried much harder not to spill those secrets...
