Any reason for Gnus not to do that by default?

I hacked this together before reading your suggestion:

    (defun asjo-update-topics ()
      (let ((pos (point)))
        (beginning-of-buffer)
        (gnus-topic-read-group)
        (gnus-topic-read-group)
        (goto-char pos)))

    (add-hook 'gnus-summary-exit-hook 'asjo-update-topics)

Which just toggles the top-level topic, which has the side effect of
updating the counts.

I couldn't make save-mark-and-excursion work, so I did the point +
goto-char dance, which is a little icky.

I will see if I can get your suggestion going after dinner :-)

Thanks!
