I noticed the scan counter going up and down when I went a little scan-happy during a mission, and, with a little experimentation, arrived at the theory that, if you destroy (or possibly kill, but didn't test this) something you've scanned, it gets removed from the counter the next time you scan. So, if you scan 5 containers, destroy 4, and scan 1 more afterwards, the counter displays 5 before the last scan, and 2 after.
