Perhaps Special:Statistics has a different idea of "active" than you do. I don't know how it counts, but I could imagine that it requires activity over a week or so.

No, that is not the case. The number comes from counting the users on Special:ActiveUsers.

Anyway, this bug just got worse. Now Special:Statistics shows that the active users are -1. Added a screenshot and upped the importance to normal.

It currently seems to be correct. Please reopen or file a new bug if this happens again.
