You're not accounting for rebound: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-glacial_rebound.

True, but that would need to be some kind of rebound ;).

Even ignoring sea level rises due to ice loss elsewhere and the fact that the area we're discussing already appears well below sea level, the average ratio of bedrock rise to decrease in ice shelf thickness has been running at about 1:10 in recent years.
