What you found was a "bug" that has existed since we allowed arty units to turn gun tubes on and off so lets say........ 10 years minimum ? Maybe 12....or maybe even more.

The game is counting smoke used by the formation not the individual unit in the formation so if you are given 10 "smoke rounds" and your arty formation has 4 "guns" and you leave them all active when they fire you would get something like 4x4 smoke fired and 4 smoke would be deleted from the smoke total but if you only have one gun active and fire smoke you will fire 4 smoke as well and 4 smoke will be deducted from the total so the "secret" to putting down a smoke screen is to NOT shut gun tubes down ( which, given how long this has been going on and NOBODY has commented ...is a very rare occurrence )

This does point out....... once again........ the value of a save game
