Yepp, it's quite odd.

Yes, I think so. MRTG uses the following command to fetch that info:

cat /proc/meminfo | grep "MemFree:" | sed 's/ * / /g' | cut -d ' ' -f2

That works well from the command line and the stats I see in MRTG represent 
those at the time when I run the command manually. So it doesn't actually 
take the buffers into account at all.
