Strange Close Vote Quantification

As I spend more time in the close vote queue, I am starting to notice infrequent odd discrepancies in the number of close votes versus the number of votes indicated in the blue numerical count for each reason.

As an example:

Segmentation Fault with Direct Memory Access

shows (at the time of writing) 2 close votes. Clicking on "close" brings up the close dialog, also showing 2 "duplicate of..." entries. Clicking on "duplicate of..." indicates that the reason was selected 4 times.

Similarly, sometimes I see no indicator on (for example), "off-topic because... ", but when I click into it, I will see 1 or 2 entries in "Questions asking us to recommend or find a book, tool, software library, tutorial or other off-site resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it.".

Is this just a case of the caching not always being up to speed, or could it be a legitimate bug? I've hesitated to bring it up, in the past, due to the ephemeral nature of the state of close votes on a particular object.
