Ok, 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.

It says "the value returned by filesize" (not the
actual file size), may not be the same as what can be
read from the file.  It does not say which one would
be larger - or why.  I gleaned that from your (and
Jay's) response.
