This is odd. The number shown on the Hypothesis extension icon depends only on the URL. Is the URL changing in any way when you refresh the page?

There is a known issue with YouTube where if you land on one page, and then navigate to another using links within the YouTube UI, it doesn't update some parts of the page and this confuses Hypothesis (specifically the <link rel=canonical> metadata).
