You're seriously doing something wrong if it's really that big.
There shouldn't be a noticeable difference in map size because of that.

Also what program did you use to create such a big map?

Ok, the WE doesn't allow 480 x 480 so this won't help you.
The only program that can make 480 x 480 is WEU I think but it can't resize - it can only create new maps with 480 x 480.
Anyway you can use it to create a new map (480 x 480) then open the new map and the old map in the WE. Go to the terrain layer, enter selection mode (press space), select the whole terrain of your old map.
Then copy and paste it to your new larger map.

Nah, theres no bug at all!
The new big map you create must use the same base tileset as the old map.
Then ther won't be any wrong cliffs.

You can copy the doodads to the new map the same way.
Go to doodads layer, select all doodads, copy and paste

The same goes for units
