Comment(by nacin):

 Didn't have a chance to respond to you on Twitter yet, but I don't see
 this as something we should account for on users.php. We very specifically
 are showing a count of posts.

 Some post types might store information that isn't conducive to a count.
 For example, logging the actions of a user might have post_author set, but
 that doesn't mean it should count as a post. Same with maybe tweets by
 that user. It's ultimately just dependent on the desires of the
 administrator, which is why it should be left up to plugins to override
 this column if they so wish to do so. As I did say on Twitter, I'm not
 even sure where we'd be able to link a count if it includes more than one
 post type, as well. We don't even include pages -- if we had, then maybe
 an argument for other post types would make sense.

 Re: naming of post types, we have get_post_types() and such... Re:
 set_current_screen(), that's unrelated and has to do with edit.php, edit-
 pages.php, post-new.php, etc.
