I can only speak of the functionality on an iPhone. I don't know if Android works the same way.
After you take the burst shot, if you do nothing and just let Camera Uploads upload your recent photos, only one photo from the burst will be uploaded. If, before you open Dropbox, you view the series of photos in the burst and select them all, then Dropbox will upload them all when you open it.
Dropbox uploads the photos in your Camera Roll. When you take a burst, there's only one photo visible in the Camera Roll. Opening the burst and selecting all (or some) of the photos in the burst saves them as individual photos in the Camera Roll which Dropbox then has access to.
When there are multiple photos from a burst uploaded through Camera Uploads, Dropbox will append a number at the end of the file name.
