Well really it depends on the timeframe this statistic was taken!

I do not want to be a nonbeliver but this was confirmed working by
other people that reported the same 'issue'.

Other than that you can do a pfctl -dvvss and pfctl -dvvsi for every
minute and send them to compare.
Further more there should be a kernel thread "pfpurge" that is
running, verify with procstat which does the job of purging your
states.
