Is Gangplank's minion counter bugged?
I have witnessed this multiple times when playing 
Gangplank, sometimes the minion counter will reset or lower later in the game or in the post game stats. I recall one game going on long enough for me to have over 400 cs, and the post game showed 367. The game I just played I had over 200 CS and it reduced to 160 while I was still in the game.
My theory is that this has something to do with the Barrels interacting with his Paaarley to waveclear, perhaps? If anyone has any solid explanation about this, I'd be much obliged.

I really have no idea how it happens but apparently it's still a thing. :/
If you buy the Cull, you'll see it happen too. The final count, as the passive of this item, is just about the minions (maybe jungle monsters too? dunno). But you can "farm" a barrel - and it'll be included in the counting, because if an enemy farms it, it'll give him gold. So, the difference is, I think, the number of barrels exploded.
I'll try to count it in my next match to see if it applies!
P.S.: Maybe the same thing happens when there is a Kalista and you farm the ghost, but the number of ghosts is not that high to make a notable difference.
