I think I have the same problem.
I'm using an ifb interface for shaping inbound traffic.
The Gnome System Monitor then counts twice the incomming traffic (once on my physical network interface and once again on the ifb interface). The result is that the dispayed network load is twice as much as the real network load.

I tried to get into the code and it seems that the interface list is loaded via the ligtop library. This library reads the /proc filesystem and doesn't not make any distinction between interfaces. A fix would perhaps be to modify the Gnome network monitor so that it filters the ifb interfaces out from the list returned by libgtop.

Do you think this is the same problem as yours ?
