recreation steps:

Run concordance on USB4 words all passages
Refine count 2 to 2 i.e. exactly two occurrences
Set language to Greek
Note that on the left side Bible Text gives a count of 2,836
Refine by Bible text only
Note on the right side there is a count of 5,674 i.e. (2 x 2836) +2 double I can explain (sort of) but why the extra 2?

SBLGNT gives the expected result of 5696 but I can reproduce your count of 5674 for the UBS4.

lang Greek x field Surface Text gives exactly double at 5678

This happens when you have a group of words that contains a mix of Bible and non-Bible text (for example, ΜΑΘΘΑΙΟΝ). The facet counts are showing how many of the current groups contain Bible text without considering that the count might change, preventing it from being displayed when the facet is applied.

I've written up a case for this.
