[XeTeX] strange difference

Hello,
I am trying to create an animation and each frame is an image created with TikZ. Thecode looks like this:
\documentclass[border=9,tikz]{standalone}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\begin{document}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text,Ligatures=Common]{Minion Pro}
\setsansfont[Scale=MatchLowercase,Mapping=tex-text]{Arimo}
\setmonofont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{UM Typewriter}
\tikz{
    \path[save path=\cloud](-1,2)--(13,2);
    \path[save path=\hill](3,2)--(4,2)..controls(7,5)..(11,2)--(15,2);
    \begin{scope}[blend group=darken]
        \begin{scope}[dash pattern=on2off4,line width=12,darkgray]
            \draw[use path=\cloud];
            \draw[use path=\hill];
        \end{scope}
        \begin{scope}[blend group=normal]
            \draw[use path=\cloud][line width=8];
            \draw[use path=\cloud][line width=6,white];
        \end{scope}
        \begin{scope}[blend group=normal]
            \draw[use path=\hill][line width=8];
            \draw[use path=\hill][line width=6,white];
        \end{scope}
    \end{scope}
    \node[inner sep=0pt] (light) at (3.5,4)
    {\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{traffic-light.pdf}};
%%%%
    \node[inner sep=0pt] (light) at (1,2.1)
    {\includegraphics[scale=0.1]{TRAIN-crop.pdf}};
%%%%
    \draw (5.5, 5) rectangle (8.5, 6) node[pos=.5] {\small\texttt{print("postive")}}; 
}
\end{document}

The page size of the resulting file has paper size equal to 166 x 47 mm. However, when I change 
the command that places the PDF image TRAIN-crop.pdf so to place the image in  a different 
position but within the bounds of the first image, the resulting PDF image has paper size equal 
to 166 x 46 mm! The two files differ as follows:
28,29c28,29
<     \node[inner sep=0pt] (light) at (1,2.1)
<     {\includegraphics[scale=0.1]{TRAIN-crop.pdf}};
---
>     \node[inner sep=0pt] (light) at (5.2,3.5)
>     {\includegraphics[scale=0.1,angle=45]{TRAIN-crop.pdf}};

The question is why do I get different paper sizes? It might be something obviousbut I cannot see it...
Regards,
Apostolos
