Anyone know why?

Sure.

Unless the inverted copy is EXACTLY in sync and EXACTLY the
same, sample-for-sample, you WON'T get silence.

Yes, but if the OP is inverting a file and mixing it with itself, that
means it *should* be an exact inverse copy, and hence the mix should
result in silence. Your reply in no way addresses this mystery. I assume
the mixing is being done immediately after inversion, which should
eliminate any differences between copies as you're postulating.

Just tried this with Audition and the result is as expected; a
perfectly straight line without a single bit out of place.
