My bad. I should have specified that I am running `top -n 1` to get a
snapshot, rather than monitoring interactively. When I do this after a
reboot, all is well, but after a while, they start to not add up and get
way out of wack 24 hours later, maybe sooner. But... if I run in
interactive mode, everything is cool once top updates...

So I guess it just takes top a while to sort it all out.
Thanks to both of you for helping me figure this out. And sorry for not
being clearer.
