found the solution (or explanation) on page 122 of the handbook:

"With (Evaluative metering), the exposure setting will be locked when you press the shutter button halfway and focus is achieved. In the (Partial metering), (Spot metering), and (Center-weighted average metering) modes, the exposure is set when the photo is taken. (Pressing the shutter button halfway does not lock the exposure.)

During Live View shooting, the exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken, regardless of the metering mode."

so the manual confirms that with evaluative metering live-view and OVF do behave differently.

To make OVF and live-view behave the same one needs to choose another metering mode.
