Comment (by itthinx):

 I was just looking at wp_count_posts() in 3.5.1 looking for filters that
 unfortunately don't exist. What has been proposed here, seems to be in
 line with what I was looking for. By the way, wp_count_attachments() seems
 to be lacking those filters as well.

 A way to modify the outcome of this function is important when you are
 restricting the visibility of posts - my Groups plugin allows to do that
 and when a user is viewing the list of posts in the back end, the counts
 reflect the total number of posts that exist, but if that user is only
 allowed to see a subset of these, the number of posts that is in the list
 is less. Moreover, the small indicator on top right would say 'X items'
 where X is the correct number of posts for that user, while the 'Published
 (Y)' indicator would give a higher number in Y.

 Seeing that this ticket has been open since 2 years and there's no
 (reasonably efficient) way to interact with the outcome of
 wp_count_posts() and wp_count_attachments(), here's one more who would
 appreciate a solution to this. I haven't tried the patches but from what
 has been said here, more than just +1.
