It' mostely signedness but also from the specification:
OpenGL's pixel map, color table, convolution, color matrix,
histogram, and min/max are NOT performed on the HILO components
or texture offset group pixel groups.
(I'm not sure wether these operations are performed when shaders are enabled,
though.) Also, even GL_HILO8_NV is internally represented by 16 bits per
channel (at least according to the spec).

Perhaps GL_NV_texture_expand_normal can help?
