Fairly sure the size-bloat is since it keeps Fort Joy in the savefile. Even though it has no place in there as we'll never return and it's just extra size for nothing.
Surely they can save important decisions without the whole map.

Could be wrong, but that definitely seems to be with the 3MB > 6MB > 11MB steps between chapters (and my unusable EA saves being around 3-4MB each too, without tutorial ship).
