One of the recent updates had a lot of problems with the numbers. Make sure you have the newest version. It seems to work okay,....I think.
I have the latest version that I am aware of, 100510 V1.707.
I can't get to a computer with MIDs(or access to the website) right now so I'm not sure about the version number.
There was someone on yesterday or the day before that had almost the exact same problem. A program update fixed his issue.

What's your build? Are you using Shields or Invulnerability while having multiple foes/allies in range of your scaling defense abilities?

No, just toggles up with no enemies around. No inspirs. Mids is reporting higher results than what Combat Attributes are, and the difference is significant. I've tried updating the program, so not sure what the deal is at this point.
Another point, the Resistance is pretty much spot on.... weird.....
Okay think I figured it out. Mids must be based on 1 foe in melee range for Invincibility for the totals. When I go near 1 enemy, the totals are then pretty much spot on, give or take a few points.
Someone else had a similar problem in game. I forget what her resolution was, but it was some sort of a mistake in her build in game that was different.
But I think it was with recharge instead of defense

Yes, Invinc doesn't provide any defense unless you're near at least one foe. So if you're comparing Mid's set to one foe to the defense value in Combat Attributes when you're not in combat, CA won't include the "one foe" defense from Invinc.
