I'm assuming it's taking into account issues that are considered private and listing them in the count, but not displaying them.

Indeed. This duplicates issue #15248; closing as such...

Since I can't see the private issue, I should not be informed there are issues that are private. I suggest it's a defect in that the count should not display issues I can not see.

I'd argue that the even for anonymous viewers, the total count should be visible, since the goal is to give the viewer an idea of how many issues are to be solved. The topics / content of the issues may be private and, as such, hidden from viewers, but they should nevertheless know they are there.

Otherwise, if the count would not contain private issues, users would ask "Why isn't version x.y released, all issues in the roadmap are closed?"...
