Comment (by rmccue):

 This is basically only an issue if plugins filter an individual post out
 using permissions. We should document this behaviour, but I don't see that
 there's a great way to "fix" it (i.e. always return the number you asked
 for). It's similar to requesting 10 items, but only 7 exist (i.e. small
 site, or at the end of pagination). The `per_page` value is an upper-bound
 only.
