TOPIC: Visitor/Hits counter odd behavior

We have encountered a minor randomly appearing bug with the 2.1.10 version of Matukio.

Righ after when an event is created, sometimes immediately after when the event is published, the visitor/hits counter shows numbers like 100 or something, which cannot be correct, because the event was just published a second ago. This does not happen to all created events though, but it happens from time to time with no obvious logic behind it.

What's causing this behavior?
