I doubt that's the case, but have no intention to investigate a one QSL 
discrepancy. Years ago I tracked a similar discrepancy to a W1 callsign 
that was confirmed, then the record disappeared only to show up again a 
few months (?) later. I suspect LoTW has a few glitches that they try to 
keep on the down low and not advertise too much.

Registering for LoTW is fairly involved and secure, as it should be, so 
that's why I think it's not a question of removing an invalid log, but 
of course, I can't be sure.

The mismatch is in the total QSL count reported and the amount of QSLs 
reported for all my callsigns under Statistics, like PY2YP described. 
Weird, but nothing to lose sleep for.
