I think it depends on the attribute? In that case (a call to offsetAttribute.endOffset(), after TokenStream.end() has been called), that method returns the final offset increment. This is necessary so multi-valued fields keep the right offsets (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1448 for details of what led to this).
