Comment (by A5hleyRich):

 I'm not sure `WP_List_Table` is at fault here, the issue is that the
 `prepare_items` method in the `WP_Posts_List_Table` class is not passing
 the correct values.

 The reason for querying for the post counts separately is for performance
 reasons. The initial query doesn't return results because the SQL offset
 exceeds the amount of posts, but removing the offset will query and return
 all posts on every paginated page, hence the additional lookup.
