There is a discrepancy in my stats between the country count in  Profile Stats BadgeGen ir or Maps pages and Stat Compare.

Stat compare shows 14 countries visited, Profile Stats show 13. I don't think the problem is lab caches as Stat Compare ignores labs (I'm going to raise that as a separate issue). I suspect that Stat Compare is including USA for GC8NEAT and GC8FROG, whose countries are ignored in Profile Stats.

I don't really mind which way it is (either ignore or don't ignore the countries on locationless caches) - what I really would like is for the statistics to be consistant.

Yes stat compare includes the country for locationless caches. It also includes caches from the official "Caches Excluded from Souvenirs and Statistics"-list that players can chose to not include in their profile stats. Since this is an option the stat compare and the profile stats will never match 100% and it will not be truly consistent no matter if you include or exclude these caches. Personally I think the best solution would be a filter for this, an option if you want to include them or not, but that seems like much work with little pay off to me.
