It was a 'new' book (one of today's intake), consequently the epub had copious quantities of crud. After delousing, the editor counts changed somewhat, so they must count crud (spans, superfluous styles, etc)

Deloused counts are in parentheses

Code:
Same book 

EPUB - Count Pages    = 20,563 (20,886)
EPUB - Calibre Editor = 21,405 (20,793)
EPUB - Sigil          = 21,382 (20,753)

RTF/DOCX - Word       = 20,751 (20,749)

TXT - Notepad++       =        (20,751)
So, if you're of the view that Word is the arbiter of good all things under the sun... then the winner is Sigil

You know my view on this - near enough, is good enough.
