It's actually quite simple: look at the output of "fs lsmount *" in the
directory where i_nlink is "wrong".
Why does this happen? Secretly an AFS volume mountpoint is a symlink. You
can test this by creating a symlink that is formatted the same as an AFS
mountpoint; for example,
tully:212 Z$ ln -s \#ece.cmu.edu:sup.cron. cron
tully:213 Z$ ls
Desktop Office51 bin mail qhinfo.pl~
Facilities OldFiles cron pgp-5.0-key-advisory.txt rfc2060.txt
GNUstep Public freshen.sh public_html sieve.txt
News _ jpilot-0.98 qhinfo.pl src
tully:214 Z$ ls cron
3.0.1 3.0.1-1 omega
tully:215 Z$ fs rmm cron
tully:216 Z$ _
(The trailing . on the volume name should normally be \0, but most stuff
just chops it off without looking.)

We are Linux. Resistance is an indication that you missed the point.
