I've got 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 displayed 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.
