I'm getting similar (but not same) results on Debian Stable, gs 10.00.0
& qpdf 11.3.0:

Thank you for providing this data! Somehow, instead of compacting the
PDFs, one of the tools manages to blow them up in size, as much as ~23
times.
Can you try tools::compactPDF() separately with gs_quality = 'none'
(isolating qpdf) and with qpdf = '' (isolating GhostScript)?
If the culprit turns out to be GhostScript, it may be due to their
rewritten PDF rendering engine (now in C instead of PostScript with
special extensions) not being up to par when the PDF file needs to be
compressed. If it turns out to be qpdf, we might have to extract the
exact command lines and compare results further.
