I've noticed this happening as well: sometimes the program miscounts the number of a particular group, and part of the script reports one number while another part reports another number (or something like that). I first noticed this when I casted CHAOS at one point, and it completely skipped one of the Poltergeists (I counted the number that were reported not to have died or been seized in the center panel, and noticed that it was one less than the number now being listed for that particular group).
