Personally, I would suspect the symbolic result as well unless you know from independent means that the results returned by Integrate is indeed the correct result. This I say in regards to another similar situation with:
Log[1+1/(e^x Sqrt[x])]
which returns an incorrect result symbolically. When I use the Method->Oscillatory I get:
In[24]:=
NIntegrate[f[x],{x,0,Infinity},Method->Oscillatory,WorkingPrecision\[Rule]20]
Out[24]=
0.871
