It's not dropping the actual level down, it's just setting the gain meter relatively to show the space between the audio's current level and normalized / clipping levels. Test for yourself -- just consolidate and hit playback, you'll notice no change in playback volume; if you did, obviously that would be weird. The drop in "gain" is just a smart tool, your audio isn't being tampered with.
