This happens quite often during Windows upgrades. When Windows finds the existing Recovery Partition to be too small to accommodate a WindowsRE.wim image update, it shrinks the OS partition by the amount needed to create a new, larger Recovery partition... creates and assigns the new Recovery partition, and winds up orphaning the old Recovery partition. The result: a new registered Recovery Partition, a completely orphaned old Recovery partition, and a new shrunk OS partition.
This Windows "operation" always changes the geometry of existing automatic imaging tasks, and as a result either makes the task fail or forces a new, unexpected FULL image to reflect the new partition geometry.
The way I have solved it is to make your existing Recovery partition much larger (I use 2-gB)... that way Windows will always (at least for the forseeable future) find enough room in that partition for any WindowsRE.wim changes required for any update/upgrade.
