I suspect because it wasn't actually due to plastic shrinkage, but simply due to them marking out the 'inches' in 25mm increments.

The most obvious one I have is two different 5in large blasts, where the newer green plastic one is a good 3mm larger diameter then the older gray/white plastic one (from 3rd edition box set I think).

There have so far been 4 different plastics used for the blast markers and templates. The original 3rd ed set was orange plastic. These were later replaced with smokey grey plastic, and then again with a pale grey, softer plastic set which was markedly smaller when held up alongside. Then there's the green set currently available... which I can't say I've actually compared. I have a bunch of them in the store, but haven't actually kept a set aside for myself yet...
