Ok, found 1 possible cause to get an offset to the amount of books.

I tested on an empty KA2 v1 the adding of 26 CBR / CBZ files directly (no calibre involved) and noticed that KA2 reported only 25 to be present, while 26 files physically were present.
It turned out that the Kobo FW is picky about fact that the file extension must match the *magical number* of the file contents. The "missing" file was of type "PK" (zip compressed file), while the file-extension was .CBR (suggesting a RAR compressed file). Adjusting the file extension to the correct .CBZ one solved this problem and the file was now correctly recognized and counted.

As this is a file mistake you will not quickly encounter as viewers tend to silently correct, it might be 1 of the causes of the incorrect amount of files mentioned.
