Alright, I am in a kinda conflicting situation. On one side I want to support you guys in making a decision on the other side I want to avoid conflicts of interest.
The following is the output of openstv-run-election run using the Borda Count approach:

Code:

[rc@n150 Downloads]$ usr/bin/openstv-run-election -s 1 Borda election.blt

Borda count totals.

Winner is Filebox http://competition.meetmeego.org/submissions/66.
[rc@n150 Downloads]$

I used the openstv version as linked by neal in this thread. I also copied the complete output including the command line I used for calling.
I did this on a Fedora machine and extracted the *.deb package via "dpkg -x *.deb .". Hence, the strange path of "usr/bin/..." for running the election.

I hope that helps...

Edit:
As the format of the copy&pasted output in code-tags is a little ugly I also attached the output of this voting as run via:

Code:

[rc@n150 Downloads]$ usr/bin/openstv-run-election -s 1 Borda election.blt > election_output.txt

Edit2:
Changing the value for the number of seats to be elected (x) as used for the parameter "-s x" does not seem to make a difference with respect to the reported "Count" values. What I could observe that changes are the reported "Winners" which seem to be selected by ordering all candidates (highest Count number first) according to the "Count" value and then choosing the first x from the top (the first x with the highest Count numbers). x btw can range from 1 to n-1, with n being the total number of candidates.

Edit3:
I don't know what will happen if there is a tie, i.e. at least two candidates with an equal number of Counts.
