The first reference to tagging lanes for cyclist on the lanes page is made here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key%3Alanes&type=revision&diff=648732&oldid=648729 by PeterIto
My interpretation is that he writes that cycle lanes should be mapped as cycleway=lane (and thus not be included in the lanes-count). So perhaps you should contact him to ask why he came up with this definition (besides the arguments we gave above) ?
