The play panel seems to think that the pickup measure is the first measure and starts the first beat there. It's quite easy to reproduce (see attached file):
1. Open any score with a pickup measure at the beginning.
2. Open play panel (View->Play Panel)
3. Play the score. Observe the beat counter on the top.
It's nothing major, but it's a bug nonetheless.

It is the first beat of your score though, isn't it?

Play panel shows the 'real/internal' measure/beat number, just the same as you can spot in the status area when you have the cursor inside a score.
Keep in mind that you can manually change the display logic of a measure number in such a way that you can have every measure in your score be measure whatever. If you have sections in your piece, you likely already have several "first" measures.
