Cure spells are not capable of harming you (unless you're undead). Presumably your subconscious mind, or whatever else governs your instinctive resistances, can understand this, sensing that the incoming influence is Harmless and not resisting it. You can save against such effects, but only intentionally. Whereas any Harmful effect always gets a save unless you voluntarily decline it, and no compulsion can interfere with that "voluntary" part.
