I have seen this before, I believe the explanation was that the slope of the red piece was not constant or some such, as in it had a slight bend. I don't really remember exactly though.

The red and green triangles are not the same size at all check your measurements.

The slope of the Hypotenuse of the red triangle is different than that of the green, this causes the displacement when they are swapped.

MagiK's right. If you take the hypotenuses of the two macro-triangles, and place them on the same diagonal you'll find that they create a disk-shaped form. This is where the "lost" area went to.

Why complicate it with calculating the hypothenuses? Just check the base and height. They´re not matching. The height ratio is 1:1,5 and the base 1:1,8. There´s a methematical term for triangles that have matching ratios, but that term isn´t in my vocabulary
