No, that's not strange at all. You are reencoding a video. That process will likely use different parameters than the original encoding. (Approximately the same would happen without the overlay.) You can control the encoding parameters, e.g. by the bitrate option "-b:v", or with "-crf" (if using libx264 or libx265). There is a lot of information about that available.
