Installing OS X Yosemite converted most volumes to core storage, so believe me when I say this situation impacted Yosemite as well. By far the simplest solution would be to wipe the disk, but as I say I understand why you would not want to do this. Have you tried booting from internet recovery as I suggested with COMMAND+OPTION+R? That seemed to reallocate the free space on my startup volume—and I have no idea why. Perhaps it has to do with tests that were performed on the hard disk, or with recreating the recovery partition.
