[AstroPy] reproject and flux conservation

Hi all,
I'm working with a student who needs to have a visible image rebinned to the
pixel size of an infra-red one with one to one pixel overlap. I suggested it
would be simpler to use `reproject` to re-project the visible map onto the
infrared one.
What we don't understand, is that whereas reproject_exact is supposed to
conserve the flux, the sum of the reprojected array is much higher that the
sum of the initial one (I would have expected it to be lower because of parts
of the visible map not being on the IR coverage).
Where are we wrong?
Regards,
Yannick
