I can't seem to reproduce this.
Tried making a PDF without clipping to margins -> Ok
Next clip to margins -> Ok (margins clipped)
Next uncheck clip to margins -> Ok (no clipping)
Next made a little bleed top and bottom (3mm) -> Ok (slight encroachment
of bleed area top and bottom)
If you want to create bleed without shrinking the final cropped size of
the page, you need to add the bleed width to the document size. In
1.3.3.x, there was no built-in bleed function, only a script, which
enlarged your document size as it was making bleeds, etc. -- perhaps you
didn't realize this.
