There are few things that can be going on:

1.  You are simply attenuating through the via so total energy reaching 
the termination in the signal band has been reduced.
2.  In your via case you have inadvertently done a better job matching 
the electrical path length.
3. Your vias are long enough to cause substantial coupling between the 
two lines of the pair, in effect building a CM choke.
