Yes, sorry about the ambiguity.

Thanks, works for me!
I noticed something unrelated to this bug, but since it’s in the same
area I thought I’d hijack the thread. If you call
‘org-update-statistics-cookies’ with a prefix argument on the
following buffer the cookies will update correctly, but not if you’re
narrowed to one of the top-level subtrees:
* Test [0/2]
** TODO Subtask
** TODO Subtask
* Test [0/0]
** TODO Subtask
** TODO Subtask
Attached is a simple fix that calls ‘org-update-checkbox-count’ with
an appropriate symbol when the buffer is narrowed.
Best,
