it doesn't matter if post revisions are enabled or disabled.

If you set $blogcomments to TRUE, then first LINKED comment is counted as 2. All next comments are counted as one, so we always get comment count +1.

Maybe this is not the best solution, but atleast it works:

function sf_comments_number($no_comment="0 Comments", $one_comment="1 Comment", $many_comment="% Comments", $blogcomments=false)
{
global $wp_query;

sf_initialise_globals();

   $result = $no_comment;
   $total = 0;
   $postid = $wp_query->post->ID;
   $links = sf_blog_links_control('read', $postid);

   # If linked get the post count (-1 of course)
    if ($links && sf_can_view_forum($links->forum_id))
   {
       # link found for this post
       $total = (sf_get_posts_count_in_topic($links->topic_id) -1);
       if ($total >0) $total=$total-1;
   }

   # If to include standard blog comments add that number
   if($blogcomments)
   {
       $total = ($total + $wp_query->post->comment_count);
   }

   if($total > 0)
   {
       if($total == 1 ? $result=$one_comment : $result=str_replace('%', $total, $many_comment));
   }
   echo $result;

return;
}

I don't follow your argument and most definitely do not agree that this happens. Not on any of my tests does it happen.
However, there IS (in 4.2) a problem with the count if a forum post is awaitng approval as it gets included when it should not. Mayvbe that s where your extra one s coming from.
This is fixed in 4.2.1
