This patch doesn't report correct counts when a compact agenda is used
and you filter by some task that doesn't match any entries in your
block.

The block is empty and shows no tasks but the counter is incorrect.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; Compact the block agenda view
(setq org-agenda-compact-blocks t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Filter by some tag not in these blocks

/ TAB PERSONAL RET

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Tasks to Refile (15/0)
Stuck Projects (15/1)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If the counts are correct I think this makes a good addition to org-mode.
