Is there some other compression going on automatically? Yes, XCF historically uses RLE compression, which is basic hence not great, but still enough for a very simple image with a lot of identical (i.e. same color) adjacent pixels (as I understand your image is). The option in the save dialog is about activating the newer zlib compression instead, which is much more sophisticated and should therefore result in even smaller files. But on very simple files, simple compression can work great too (sometimes even better than complex compression, that's rare but it may happen).
