The only reason I ran across this today is because I met with a host to close her show and I totaled her order by hand when I met her at her work. I noticed the difference when I entered her order into P3 once I got home.
This is definitely a glitch that needs to be fixed. The tech support guy didn't seem to mind that this was happening and in fact seemed like this is normal and okay.
