Is this MFD or SFD? If MFD, flow may split and re-join.

Exactly. With MFD, flow may be distributed to several downstream cells
and the accumulation value can drop when following the extracted path.
This is is most prominent when a river flows into an ocean. Paths,
however, follow Horton's stream network logic and can not split, only
join.


So what would be the correct way to get total flow accumulation for each
stream segment?
Do I have to revert to running r.watershed with the SFD flag?
Probably yes. For MFD, streams can be more than one cell wide, and you
would need to draw a cross-section at the beginning and end of each
stream segment, then sum up all stream cells for each cross-section.

I've changed my script to use the flags "-a -s" in r.watershed so that Single Flow Direction is used, and flow out of the region is a positive value. Works fine now.
