Even it is somehow curious you do not know what kind of QC they are doing. I do not think that they have done 9k shutter releases to test if the camera is working properly. Maybe part of this is renaming of files as well.
Putting on my “Retired Computer Systems Designer” hat for a moment…
There are a lot of innocuous ways this might happen. One that comes to mind is that manufacturing post-assembly tests that work at a computer “bit” level might leave the counter in a random state and later someone accidentally skipped the “reset count” step. With such small production runs building an elaborate infrastructure to prevent this is not economic compared to a simple manual checklist.
