You got the lines count because in mbox format it's easy to work out when parsing the mailbox file. In maildir format, it requires more processing and since you don't need to know how long the messages are to parse them all, it's not done. Line counting in mbox parsing is a trivial extension, in maildir it's unnecessary overhead. Reading the Lines or Content-Length headers (which I think is what Jeff is referring to) and relying on that is bad practice for mail readers[1], but displaying the values it thinks are correct is merely cosmetic.
