Disparity between actual drones/drone display. Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

I'm still playing my first game, and my empire has swollen quite a bit, absorbing the bulk of four other factions. The gross size may account for the weirdness I'm seeing. I also have a near-monopoly on all secret projects. Anyway, the confusion I have is stemming from the display of drones each base shows. In the "PSYCH" section of the base display, I'm seeing fewer drones than in the main display, as shown below. Since drone riots aren't occuring, the PSYCH display is obviously the correct one. What's causing the lower readout? Is it a game error? Is it an accurate number of drones, but are just being suppressed from police action?:

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

You see the drones which police is so called b-drones.
It would take you very much psych to quell them by psych.

The screen below interprets a police unit as +2 (or +4 +6 depending on police rating and nonlethal methods) psych and calculates the display accordingly.

But in the real situation police has nothing to do with +2 psych. It simply quells 1 (or 2 or 3) drones.

That's a bug ingame and the correct screen is the above one.

Thanks. I don't mind the bug, but its nice to know which display is the more accurate one. I suppose the main readout is to display the "feel" of the base, showing that police are the only thing keeping the population from rioting. Keeps me from the illusion that I'm running a peaceful operation. ;-)
