Dieter,
V4 rsync, by default, uses --checksum for full backups, which means the full-file digest of the existing file is sent to the client together with the meta data, and the client checks if the digest and meta data are the same. If so, then no file is transferred (it's skipped just like in an incremental). So those files count towards the total file count, but not the Existing Files count. If the meta data has changed, or the full-file checksum is different, then the rsync algorithm is applied, transferring the deltas. In that case the file counts towards either the Existing or New count.
That's different to V3, the first step is skipped, and a full uses the rsync algorithm to transfer (send deltas) for every file, so it always counts towards either Existing or New.
Alexander recently reported some bugs with file statistics (the restore one is definitely a bug), and I need to look into those.
