Post any defects you find in the released or beta versions of the ImageMagick software here. Include the ImageMagick version, OS, and any command-line required to reproduce the problem. Got a patch for a bug? Post it here.

Perhaps you might discuss this with the others on the libpng development team and see if it makes sense to them to modify libpng to show one or the other. I don't know enough about the filter values to say which is better. I would leave that to you and the PNG team to decide which, if they agree to present this information in a new version of libpng.
It's not a libpng matter but a PNG format matter. The PNG format doesn't store the info you are wanting. As I said, you can make some guesses, but that's not a libpng matter either, but something that could be done in ImageMagick, just as ImageMagick guesses about the JPEG quality. Counting the filter types used is just a matter of examining the PNG file as pngcrush or pngcheck does.
