New description:

 Now that Group invites are managed using the BP Invitations API, it looks
 like the total of groups can be inconsistent into this function. I've
 found a case where there were no groups found and the total was 1. The
 reason was the {{{$wpdb . 'bp_invitations'}}} table was containing an
 invite for a group that has been deleted.

 Is there a reason why we don't use the total number of groups returned by
 the {{{groups_get_groups()}}} and use instead
 {{{groups_get_invite_count_for_user()}}} which run an extra DB query that
 can be wrong...
