TYPO3 Core

By the way, this behavior could be fixed by changing line 1357 in file
/sysext/cms/tslib/class.tslib_menu.php:

$content = $submenu->writeMenu();
    $GLOBALS['TSFE']->register['count_menuItems'] = count($this->menuArr);
    return $content;

This is also completely untested but I attached a screenshot how the rendering of my menu has changed with this small fix.

For further testers, here's a sample TS that shows the issue:

lib.someMenu = HMENU
lib.someMenu {
1 = TMENU
1 {
expAll = 1
wrap = <ul>|</ul>
NO {
wrapItemAndSub.cObject = TEXT
wrapItemAndSub.cObject.value = |
wrapItemAndSub.cObject.noTrimWrap = |<li>({register:count_menuItems} - {register:count_HMENU_MENUOBJ} - {register:count_MENUOBJ}) |</li>|
wrapItemAndSub.cObject.insertData = 1
}
}
2 < .1
2.NO.wrapItemAndSub.cObject.value = -|
3 < .1
3.NO.wrapItemAndSub.cObject.value = ---|
}

Add it to your site, check out the first number, apply the patch and re-check the first number.
