It's not unheard of for such a large, strong system to have a mesocyclone moving that fast. Keep in mind that hurricane-induced tornadoes are formed under different circumstances than, say, Plains tornadoes. They are lower-topped, and are borne not out of instability, but shearing due to frictional interaction with land mass.
I recall a report of a mesocyclone from Ivan moving at 100 mph.
