Yann:
I don't understand why there are important differences for the numbers of articles for some Wiktionaries with the manual count (from Special:Statistics) .....
There are also curious figures for database size http://en.wikipedia.org/wikistats/wiktionary/EN/TablesDatabaseSize.htm
I already anwered Yann a few days ago privately but didn't realize the question had been posted here, so here is the answer.

For database size I checked sk:
The dump is full of spam!, which has been reverted since, see for example http://sk.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiki&oldid=1725
== 2 ==
For article counts I checked Serbian dump. There has clearly been a massive cleanup (either delete or move) since last dump.
Here is part of the namespace 0 data that I can make sense of: One article per line, format title|content
Sample1: There are numerous articles (see unicode gibberish in sample 1) that only contain one or two category tags, no data.
Sample2: These data have very probably been deleted or moved.
So expect a much lower article count after next run.
