Hm, in fact that's no surprise once you looked at the Internals
Reference: RehearsalMarks have font-size +2 by default, so roughly 26%
larger, see
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/internals/rehearsalmark>...
That's why \normalsize helps.
I agree that it's odd at the first glance, but it's a tolerated side
effect of the deliberate decision that RehearsalMarks are printed larger
than most other stuff. I used to find it mildly annoying that LyricText
has a default font-size of +1, by the way...
Best,
Alexander
