Thanks for the correction on the n-grams. I was aware of that but wasn't thinking carefully when I made that comment/observation.
I see now that 猫背な is favoured over 猫背の in certain cases so I don't have problem with including adj-na.

GG5, etc. show it's really 猫背の, but as often is the case a lot of people use ~な. I think it's worth reflecting this usage.

Re "A lot of those 〜な counts are for など, なん, なら, etc."
This is not actually the case. The n-gram counts are based on morphemes, and など, なら, etc. are distinct morphemes.
A text sequence such as "猫背など姿勢が悪いと" is segmented as "猫背 + など + 姿勢 + が + 悪い + と" and would not be included in the 猫背な count.
The highish 猫背な is probably coming from other sources, some of which I've included. E.g. 猫背なのは is segmented as 猫背 + な + の + は.
(I'll close this comment after a while.)

I don't agree in this case. None of the refs have this as adj-na, and adj-na usage isn't especially common.
