Answer from the nice people in #emacs on irc.freenode.net:
If you're not using narrowing, it looks like C-= will do it.
If you are using narrowing, use C-x h to mark the whole buffer, and
then M-= to count the number of lines and characters in the region.
Note, this will destroy your point position, save it if ya need it.
