I suspect it is something about the palette generated.
I have been using palettegen and paletteuse filters lately, and they have worked out fine for me.



This command is working as you might expect:

ffmpeg -y -i sidereal.gif -filter_complex "split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen[p];[s1][p]paletteuse"  sidereal2.gif
(2.8M)

In fact, limiting the number of colors to 128, makes the file smaller:
ffmpeg -i sidereal.gif -filter_complex "split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen=max_colors=24[p];[s1][p]paletteuse"  sidereal2.1.gif
(2.2M)


Hope it helps!

Cheers
