If a block is broadcast out very late, netstats will often accept that block (only if higher difficulty?) and retroactively insert it into the history, even if it is not part of the canonical chain. The internal logic needs to be rewritten to track the branch with the greatest total difficulty, and to only every display a consistent unbroken chain in the interface.
