I've noticed the same, certainly seems like a bug.

I think it's a federation issue. Maybe it first shows local count and then gets updated with federation counts from other servers?
I've only seen this when I have multiple tabs open. The updates are coming in over web sockets and i think it gets confused when you have two clients for the same user session
I am seeing in the issue tracker that v0.18 is going to migrate away from using websockets, which should resolve the issue. Not sure when the devs are planning to release that.
One of the main devs said in the lemmy instance admin chat that they are planning on releasing it next week.
I heard somewhere that it's a bug, but the massive server load on the bigger instances probably doesn't help either
Yeah this happened on some reddit clients as well it's very interesting
Wanted to point that out, was the usual experience for me on Reddit.
On Reddit it was deliberate. That way bot users had a more difficult time to tell if their vote got counted (as they try to circumvent bot blocking and do vote brigading).
Here on Lemmy it's probably just a bug due to high server load.
