My guess:

     You have 4 instances where exactly one record was printed on the last
     page of a multi-page subtotal break.

Possible fix:

     Add the same @pn check in @wbrk1 as well.

     @wbrk1
         If: page_num ne @pn
       Then: page_count=page_count+"1"
         If:
       Then: reset @pn;page_num="";end
