Hmm, I will certainly look into this.  Can you provide some
sessionInfo() information?

The "Size" column is the number of genes annotated at the given GO
term (where genes are restricted to the defined gene universe).  You
are right that Size should always be greater or equal to the observed
count.  Jim found a bug relating to this which I fixed.  If you don't
already have Category 2.0.3 and GOstats 2.0.4, could you try upgrading
(via biocLite) and let me know if you still see the problem?
