That was my guess also. Which is why, although I used "files 420/694", I
used "space used 19646 available 56456000".
The tooltip also helps:
"Files shown, total files in dir, Kbytes used in dir, Kbytes available on
disk [RET, mouse-2: more info]"
IMO, it's not worth adding a lot of text for this to the buffer, but a
tooltip can help clarify things - for example, that "space used" refers to
the directory, but "available" refers to free disk space (independent of any
directory).
