I'm going to say again that pan law per se has nothing to do with it. The Mono button on the Master doesn't know or care what pan law is being used on any given track. It has two channels of the master mix. That mix itself could be a combination of any number of tracks with any number of different pan laws. Those laws will impact the mix itself, but they will not change the way that mix folds down to mono.

The Mono button divides the sum of the two channels in half, but the two channels don't add up to double, so the total is less than unity. That is exactly all that is happening here.
