Clarification of this problem:

To the best of my knowledge, this problem occurs only for filespaces
whose capacity is greater than or equal to 4 GB.  For these filespaces,
Query Filespace displays capacity values that are 4 GB smaller
than the actual value.  For example, if the actual filespace size is
4,300,498,944 bytes, Query Filespace would display a value of
5.3 MB (4,300,498,944 - 4,294,967,296). Values for % utilization
will also be incorrect for such filespaces.

This problem existed on all server platforms and releases and has been
fixed for all servers.  As with any fix, the availability will vary
by platform and release.
