No.  Gmail filters don't move the messages; they just apply tags.  Using the 
webmail, a tag is filtered view of the All Mail box.  Using IMAP, the folders 
other than Inbox, All Mail, etc. are just virtual folders.  As far as I can 
tell, when I delete a message from from one of the virtual folders, it 
disappears from the other virtual folders that it is in.

For instance, if I pipe this address through gmail, and create a filter for 
this list, list mail will appear in at least 3 places: named 
art.alexion@verizon.net, kdepim-users, and Inbox.  If I delete it from the 
folder art.alexion@verizon.net, it disappears from kdepim-users as well.  I 
don't know if it also disappears from the inbox.

Anyway, because the messages aren't moved, the "premature message count" 
theory can't be correct.
