Is this as it should be? Did I miss something in the rules about this?

It is as it should be.

According to the contest rules (emphasis added), "All ties for season ending grand prizes shall be broken by the most winners among the ‘best bets’ of the contestants involved in the tie. For example, if two contestants tie for the most points at the end of Week 17, with one contestant having 11 wins among their weekly ‘best bets’ and the other having 10 wins among their weekly ‘best bets,’ the contestant with 11 wins will be deemed the winner. In the event of a tie among their ‘best bets,’ the contestant with the most number of posts at SBR Forum as of the time of their Week 13 picks (01/02 Dec 2007) will be deemed the winner."

So for the purposes of breaking season ending ties, post counts were "locked-in" last week. Note that this doesn't impact post counts for the purposes of determining weekly winners, which will still be determined at the time of pick submission.

Thanks, Ganch.
Sorry, I should have gone back to reread the rules concerning this before posting this question.
It's nice to see it wasn't a glitch in the impressive contest program

The only glitches in my programs are called "users".
