(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)
Chong Yidong fixed this at the time. The discussion then went on to
whether `C-u M-x count-words' should report data for both the
narrowed-to and total buffer. That sounds reasonable to me, so I've now
done that in Emacs 29 (although the message is kinda wide).
