Why does a list view show an incorrect record count?

I have a custom object with several custom list views. On the standard 'All' list view, there are a total of 339 records shown (the correct amount). When I navigate to certain other list views for this object, I receive an incorrect record count (for example, 1555). If I set the window to show up to 200 records per page, only a handful of records are displayed (i.e. there are obviously not 1555 records to be shown).

There is no common filter or theme between the custom list views. They all check for different critera and set different visibilities to users. There also doesn't appear to be any functional disruption due to this bug, but it has caused some concern and I am looking to find a possible root cause for its appearance.

What could cause this inconsistency in record count?

It is worth nothing this org hosts a rather large managed package for an application that leverages the Salesforce platform. These object records are a critical component to the function of that package.
