ovs-dpctl is just reporting the statistics from the interface.  You should
see the same numbers if you run "ifconfig -a".  Packets being dropped by tc
are reported there, because that's where they're being dropped--not at the
interface.  If a packet is dropped at the interface itself, then I'd expect
that counter to go up.
