I assume it speaks to the sin of presumption for which was the penalty of death and no atonement was offered.

Exo 21:12-14
Num 15:27-36
Deut 17:8-13
Psa 19:10-14

Basically if you sin even though you know it is a sin, and you just don't care, and you don't repent. That is a sin unto death.

I have no exegetical reason for this interpretation other than by process of elimination it seems to be the best fit.
