Have you tried looking at these with a server side trace? I'd be very curious to know whether that can have a similar problem.
Yes a server-side trace has very similar effects compared with STATISTICS TIME for similar reasons. Your question reminded me of a real issue here on SSC from several years ago: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/FindPost886822.aspx
