I suspect this is related to other count conflict issues. There are apparently algorithmic differences. See also:

My apologies that this does not directly answer this specific discrepancy, but I suspect that the comments in those threads are applicable here too. I have not seen any authoritative explanation for the differences, but this seems to be a known issue.
seems like this has been answered and is probably not a bug. thread probably should be closed at this point.
