I haven't checked, but this might be a case of different semantics. 
Where "packets" in the sample distribution is of the entire ip datagram,
but the protocol flow summary is of only the payload data.

The flow cache should provide this information on the GSR as well, and
is not otherwise dependent on the forwarding path (dCEF).
