There were recently two changes wich can cause a drop in size of the file:

a) removal of unused match information from very old versions (SVN age)
   this should also provide information when saving in the consistency

5.1: not relevant as change is not added to the 5.1 branch
master: git revert b7905d3392894e9ae3d9c41ab910f6cb9af6c6ae

which should not explain such a large drop in size though and 



b) Use another strategy to keep attribute ordering on writing xml files

I can imagine that this can cause the trouble you see.

5.1:    git revert a9dc272c84a05abad997ad156f0f833131f88393
master: git revert 4fcb0ab18c2bc660f9a781bafcd8e09ca96f638e

The git revert commands allow you to undo those changes. Feedback is greatly
appreciated. If you could provide me an anonymized version of your file so
that I can duplicate the problem and possibly fix it.

Quick feedback is welcome so that we can fix it.

Also, did you ever try 'git bisect' ?

Cheers
