I have seen this too, but I am not sure what causes it.

You can remove the history in a maintenance plan "History Cleanup Task".

I usually have a maintenance plan to do a full backup of the system databases every day, and I just add the History Cleanup Task to that.

Or you could setup a maintenance plan just to do the History Cleanup Task.


Edit:
This has been reported on Microsoft Connect.

"...Instead of being a config item that you can save, as one would expect, this is actually a real-time cleanup option..."
