This is correct, and intentional. In general, the autohinter is increasing the glyph size much more often than decreasing. Remember that the original code in FreeType tries to hint the glyphs without any manual intervention at run-time. Compressing a font vertically might lead to very ugly results, while the opposite can only improve the appearance. However, ttfautohint doesn't hint at run-time, so I can try to make it better, and the forthcoming option -X (or a variant of it) is the right means for that.
