Comment (by jnylen0):

 I think there are also other situations where the pagination/count values
 returned by the API are not reliable.  We should investigate this more in
 general and either resolve these situations, or document this caveat and
 indicate that client code should be prepared to deal with this.

 This situation in particular is pretty edge-case since WordPress
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.7.2/src/wp-
 includes/post.php?marks=2467-2468,2486#L2465 should handle this correctly]
 under normal circumstances.  It would be good to see some repro steps if
 this is more common than I'm thinking.  See also #39881.
