Thanks to those who responded to this problem. I tried the possible solutions suggested but to no avail, but then by accident, I found that the legend remains unaltered in an image when saved as a JPEG at only 100dpi (I was originally going for 200dpi). After further investigation it appears that on images saved at 143dpi or below the legend stays intact, but images saved at a higher resolution will result in an expanded legend!
Maybe this is a bug unique to my workstation, who knows?
