Brian,
You are correct: the Rosetta Code produces a grid of constant size
(which is the starting size.)
I've just rechecked my script against the Rosetta site: there are only two
lines in Rosetta and I've reproduced them both.
The reason why your two expressions give different results is, I am
pretty confident, because in 14 iterations the starting pattern has
disappeared over the edge of the 5 by 5 grid but has not yet reached the
edge of the 10 by 10.

Roger,
Thanks for this clear comparision.
I tried some experiments with the Rosetta code version comparing
rp 5 and rp 10 and I get different results for the two, suggesting
that maybe the Rosetta code does not produce a variable size grid.
Perhaps that means that you did not use the whole Rosetta code version
for your cases?
For example, compare the following 2 cases which produce different
results.
;/7}.life ^: (< 14) rp 5
;/7}.life ^: (< 14) rp 10
