If CHIRP is uploading the additional channels, it is uploading the
names. Did you happen to set the Memory Display Format using the
keypad. It would seem to me CHIRP is not set to the same values and is
therefor changing the values (as it should).

Look at these CHIRP settings...

Settings -> Basic Settings -> Display Mode (A):
Settings -> Basic Settings -> Display Mode (B):
