Select the white then Object-Expand. Then select all and minus front.
Im sure I have tried this before...but I tried it again and its still smaller.

You can see on the right is original on left is after expand and minus:

Found the solution: The Precision option in the Pathfinder panel menu to has to be set to very small; 0,001 pt [FONT=adobe-clean, Helvetica Neue, Arial, sans-serif]which is not the default. [/FONT]
