I've noticed this many times when i've done it, in the long run its better to save your data to dvd's (or network computer) and do a full format (not quick format) of NTFS.
yup, that's indeed the only disadvantage from converting without formatting.

Although this can mostly be solved by defragmenting the FAT32 partition before converting (come to think of it, this is always a very wise choice to do before converting) and after the conversion defrag again.
