SUM II bug doesn't need Multifinder

I recently mentioned that SUM II's "Quick Fix" utility gives the
following message erroneously:

Number of files/folders does not match MDB

This happens for example when you add a new empty folder under Finder
and then run Quick Fix.  Previously I said the problem had something
to do with Multifinder, but it appears to occur without Multifinder as
well.  I've been able to duplicate the error on other Macs and other
disks as well.

I imagine this method crops up erroneously under other conditions too,
but I don't know whether that makes it a "bug" or not...

Seems to me that anything which makes me pull out my hair for 3 days
ought to be considered a bug, especially when no mention can be found
in the manuals.
