This also happens for anonymous users when posts are hidden (bug 63789), and for regular users when posts are suppressed (bug 63657).

Rather than adjusting the comment count for each user as comment #0 proposes, Flow could instead indicate when some posts aren't visible. Change the flow-topic-comments to "4* comments" with an asterisk and give it a title tooltip saying "4 comments, some not shown".
