I can reproduce this, and it does not need a restart. pg_stat_reset()
clears the database entry and pg_stat_reset_shared() clears the tablespace
entry. If more than a second passes between them, the backend flushes its
pending counts in the gap, and the entry that was reset first keeps them.
Swapping the two resets flips the sign. With both resets in one statement
the numbers always match.
Yes, this explains it.

Part of it was the second clock read. v7 reuses the time that
pgstat_count_io_op_time() already computed.

Fixed.
I like this: Having the test being strictly bigger and comparing to
beforehand values makes much sense to me.
v7 attached.
Thanks,
