Interesting. I slightly reformatted your commands for both speed and to minimise the time
between them:
(lsof -n| grep '^mysqld' | grep ESTABLISHED | wc -l) & (netstat -n | grep 3306 |
grep ESTABLISHED | wc -l) & wait
I get the occasional couple of connections difference, but mostly it turns out equal, and
the difference is never as dramatic as in your case. I wonder what's causing that...
