In Pktgen the packet count is taken from the hardware registers on the NIC and the bit rate is calculated using those values. Not all NICs flush the TX done queue and from one start command to the next the numbers can be off as the old packets are being recycled with the new size packets. Please try the different sizes and bring down pktgen between runs just to see if that is the problem.
