It appears to be working fine here in TF2. It returns the number of allocated edicts, i.e. the max number you need to loop up to and check if they're valid to get all valid edicts, it's an optimisation over using MAX_EDICTS directly.
It will only increase during the course of a map, which is why the "Early Warning" system has an option to restart the map, as that's when edicts get reallocated and the count reset.
