So? The same effect can be seen with other datatypes.

 >>> nr = 32767
 >>> sys.getsizeof(nr)
14
 >>> nr += 1
 >>> sys.getsizeof(nr)
16

Why should it be? Why should a unicode string be a copy
of its utf-8 encoding? That makes as much sense as expecting
that a number would be a copy of its string reprensentation.

So? That python sometimes needs to do some kind of background
processing is not a problem, whether it is garbage collection,
allocating more memory, shufling around data blocks or reencoding a
string, that doesn't matter. If you've got a real world example where
one of those things noticeably slows your program down or makes the
program behave faulty then you have something that is worthy of
attention.

Until then you are merely harboring a pet peeve.
