Good question. And one which will require digging through the code to
answer I'm afraid.

FWIW I suspect that is a bug in the header vs object calculations. The
wiki has this to say about the value:

"
sizes This column consists of two slash separated fields:

  *

    The advertised content length from the HTTP Content-Length reply
    header.

  * The size actually read.
      o If the advertised (or expected) length is missing, it will be
        set to zero. If the advertised length is not zero, but not equal
        to the real length, the object will be released from the cache.
