(To my surprise also) snapshot files seem to contain more data that one might expect. There's a comment in the code that says `Write out the list of allocated blocks to the end of the snapshot' (pointed out by folks on my local BSD mailing list. Full thread at [0]). Changes in the `list of allocated blocks' might account for the differences you're seeing.
