Confirmed on OSX 10.9.5 1.5svn r19768 and 1.4.4
After running a test I observed that:
In Scribus:
* starting the SE by typing 1 char triggers wordcount to register 1. typing a 2nd char increments the wordcount incorrectly to 2. Then adding a space bar and starting a new word increments it to 3.
* counts a newline as a character where LibreOffice doesn't hence the example offered by OP shows LibreOffice charcount at 57 and scribus at 59 (-2 new line chars)

The counting of words should now be fixed both in 1.4.6svn and trunk.
