Looks like the numbers are here for real - the Adwords Blog posted an article about it [adwords.blogspot.com].

When it comes to funky data, this may be at least a partial clue:

If you access the Keyword Tool from within an ad group, the search traffic statistics will factor in your campaign's country and language targeting (if you target a region or city, only the country will be reflected). If you use the standalone or external Keyword Tools, your country and language selections will influence these statistics. https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=96571&hl=en_US
