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.
