The wiki explains often the behavior for MkII but MkIV does sometimes things
different
but when you need only the value of the counter without chapter or section
prefixes
you can use \rawnumber which shows also the start value.
BTW: In the next beta the syntax for \setnumber will change, now both arguments
are
written in brackets, e.g. \setnumber[mycount][4]
