^ yup, i'd expect the same. whenever i top off i use honey-water to the same ratio as the original must. it does tend to restart fermentation, add a little sediment, etc, but the final product is better. i see you're assuming some continuing fermentation anyway in secondary, so might as well...
i've seen people use sanitized marbles to get the level higher and reduce surface area for bulk aging, but nothing like that for bottling-time.
