Title: Why are the seeds different when going from seed to mnemonic and back using bx?

Why are the seeds different when going from seed to mnemonic and back using bx?

From an example in the documentation:



$ bx seed | bx mnemonic-new | bx mnemonic-to-seed | bx hd-new

In Mastering Bitcoin, the example given here shows it going back to the seed that was originally created; this was done using an older version of bx though. Can someone explain how the seeds from line 1 and line 3 in the example are encoded/related?
