Some of the extra space may be down to unreused (but reusable) space allocated and freed during the doubling of the STASH hash as it grows.

Devel::Peek shows that stash entries created by coderef assignment to a GLOB are missing the MAGIC part of a GV: 

use Devel::Peek;
sub foo {
    print "in foo\n";
}
*bar = \&foo;
print "----\nfoo:\n----\n";
Dump(*foo);
print "----\nbar\n----\n";
Dump(*bar);
__END__

  REFCNT = 3
  FLAGS = (RMG,MULTI,IN_PAD)

    MG_VIRTUAL = &PL_vtbl_backref
    MG_TYPE = PERL_MAGIC_backref(<)
    MG_OBJ = 0x1725238

I don't think the sizes reported by Devel::Size are accurate since the stash entry created by coderef assignment is reported as being bigger.
Go figure.

use Devel::Size qw(size total_size);
sub foo {
    print "in foo\n";
}
print "size foo: ",size(*foo),"\n";
print "total_size foo: ",total_size(*foo),"\n";
print "size bar: ",size(*bar),"\n";
print "total_size bar: ",total_size(*bar),"\n";
print "difference: ",size(*foo) - size(*bar),"\n";
__END__
size foo: 7034
total_size foo: 7034
size bar: 7186
total_size bar: 7186
difference: -152
