I'm going to bet you have deduplication turned on. If so, this is a known
um...issue. Do an Internet search on "deduplication size mismatch" or some
such thing.

I ran into this just two weeks ago, and it was 2012R2 dedupe that was the
"culprit".

If you don't have dedupe on, then I don't know what it might be.
