This is actually quite common - the normal case where it happens is that
the DMA controller reports one location beyond the last location it read
so when it hits the end of the buffer you see it report just beyond the
end of the buffer (which is hit quite often since this tends to also
generate an interrupt which causes a pointer() query).  Replacing the
check with an == should be enough for that, though.
