I just downloaded the start of both original FLAC files (to about 1:40),
exported to wavs and matched their gains, swapped the polarity of one,
and presto: a combined signal at < -120dB. There are no differences in
the mixes except overall level.
So this proves two things:
1. You did nothing but switched normalization (at least for the part I
tested) between the mixes.
2. Normalization works as expected: it only adds gain.
Whatever differences you are hearing between the mixes is all in your
playback system.
