It shouldn't. The movie files themselves add up to more than a single layer DVD.

Here are screenshots I made from Toast.
The above photo shows what it would say if I burnt the entire contents of Disc 1 on a single layer disc.
This next photo shows that to fit all of the material from that a 43% reduction in quality would be needed to put the movie and all of the bonus features from disc one on a single layer disc.
However, this last photo shows that if I just burn the main movie, no compression is required, ergo it is "Identical to Original".
All that being said, you are right.
I just checked some of the scenes (my DVD player has a bit rate meter) and the scenes on the dual layer disc were running about twice as high as the single layer disc. I can't explain this one.My sincerest and humblest apologies.
