When you say "shutter count" do you mean the file number, or the actual shutter count? If you check the EXIF on a photo taken before the firmware update is there a 2100 difference in the numbers?

I can't say it's something I've ever heard of. What I have seen though is someone take a pic that has a file name of say DSC_1234, change cards and suddenly the next image is DSC_3456, because the second card has been used previously in a different camera and is continuing counting from where it left off in that one.

If, on the other hand, when you inspect the EXIF data on Flickr the "image number" on one shot is 1234 and the next 3456 then you have the issue you describe, but as I say it's not something I've personally ever seen before....
