That's because you're supposed to use the output of [+] instead of the 
output of [f]. That's the difference between a post-incrementing counter 
(usual) and a pre-incrementing counter (what is wanted here)

If you do a pre-incrementing counter with multiple directions or speeds, 
it's better to make the system driven by the [+]. Then it can use its own 
right inlet as the counter value. However Pd forces wires to connect only 
different objects, so you have to use something like [t f] as intermediate 
for connecting [+] to itself.
