This does seem very odd! You're obviously not out of storage space. I don't know what to suggest other than turning the iPhone off and back on (the most common tech support suggestion). It's possible a software glitch has thrown off the storage check function, but I don't know of a way to investigate that. The turning off and on may clear something like that.
