Re-read what it says:

     In a text file, it is possible that the value returned by FILESIZE()
     is not the same number of bytes that can be read from the file.

The discrepancy is between the file size and the number of bytes that
you can read.  As in the above example, the file size is 13, but you
can only read 10.
