Actually, that seems like a direct contradiction with the prior sentence: 

If comm is an intercommunicator, then the result of the reduction of the data 
provided by processes in one group (group A) is scattered among processes in 
the other group (group B), and vice versa.

It looks like the implementors of 2 implementations agree that recvcounts 
should be the size of the remote group.  Sounds like this needs to be brought 
up in front of the Forum...
