question on EFMCu MIB

I just joined this list because I have the following question on the 
EFMCu MIB:

The EFMCu MIB states for the TCCRCErrors and TCCodingViolations counters:

"The value of zero SHALL be returned when PME is down or initializing."

Does this mean the OAM counter is reset to all zeros upon PME down or 
initializing ?
If yes, I think this incorrect because these OAM counters are defined as 
non-resettable in Clause 30.11.2.1.9&10.

Comments?
