As you can read in other threads, that's the way OSX handles images, Patrick. And, yes -- we "erase" the contents of the image, and OSX doesn't shrink it.
If you can't write directly to the drive (which would avoid this problem), perhaps you can write a little AppleScript to delete the image before the backup, and schedule that using an iCal alarm?
