Yeah, this is not a "bug", but a feature. :)
In a nutshell, the persistent connection number is not how many persistent
connections there are available to the webserver. It is the number
available per webserver PROCESS.
So, if you have 5 persistent connections, but 10 webserver processes open,
you have 50 persistent connections open.
