Is it me or is the totals not adding up? I know the values may be estimates based on current value, but the discrepancy is huge.

Not the only time I noticed this huge discrepancy. On Friday, I noticed it but didn't get a chance to post it to imgur (couldn't do it from work):

You did not read the lines just below that table:
* a
general estimate from current exchange rates
** bitstamp 1 265.03 USD/BTC
*** Payouts 60+ days old are purged.
**** Total Unpaid is a combination of your confirmed Balance and your fluctuating total pending.
This value will rarely be constant.
"Total pending" is a value calculated on exchange price and a few other variables. Look over the publically available pool code to find out exactly what and how. It's extremely complex for the layman.
Exchange prices on coins can change drastically. The only number that can't be decreased unless you receive a payout is your "Balance".
If the pool is trying to make a payout, it can change the sale price to sell off inventory to pay the miners. It would be pretty crappy is the pool held out for a specific sale price that never came.
Just because median exchange price is X, doesn't mean your mined coins will sell for X.
