Lightroom Export Problem

A couple of times over the last few weeks when I've tried to export an image for posting, Lightroom 3 has responded with a message that it can't fit the size limit (300 kB, 720 pixels, sRGB). Today, in trying to trouble shoot the problem, I raised the size limit to 500 kB and charged ahead. When I looked at the saved image, the operating system indicated a 130 kB file size! Have others seen this behavior? Is there a fix, other than raising the size limit and hoping to get below the limit? It seems to happen on images with a lot of detail. I'm on a Mac running system 10.7 I've just posted the image in Landscape.

Have you tried posting this question on the Light room forums? They are an excellent resource for Light room questions.

Mark: I have seen this same behavior from LightRoom with some images. If you find and answer, I'd love to hear what the resolution is.
