One approach is to eliminate the baggage of autocmd
triggering and write a function to perform the count on the
fly. Such as this Vim 7.0 function:
function CountListedBuffers()
let cnt = 0
for nr in range(1,bufnr("$"))
if buflisted(nr)
let cnt += 1
endif
endfor
return cnt
endfunction
You may need to replace the buflisted() function to
something accurate to your meaning of "in the buffer list."
