If that were the case, every backup would take up the full space, which is not the case. Most Time Machine backups are tiny. system.log:Apr 13 16:22:30 Jaka.local com.apple.backupd[64675]: Copied 700 items (1.61 GB) from volume Jaka.

No, I really don't since I've never lost a file as you have described and I tested it and the result were what I expected. If you care enough, I suppose you can duplicate my test. The first think TimeMachine does in hard link the previous backup. Then it copies changed files. This would work exactly as I described. -- 2 is not equal to 3, not even for large values of 2.
