[lm-sensors] Possible bug with IT8715F (re: Asus M2NPV-VM)

Just upgraded my debian box to an Asus M2NPV-VM mainboard with 1GB ram
and a Athlon64-X2 4400+ cpu.  I noticed that the k8temp values for the
CPU were off but I've read thats due to a problem with the cpu.  I
noticed that lm-sensors (using the stock sensors.conf) reads only 3
fan values when I believe it should be reading 4.  It correctly
detects my CPU and PSU fans but there are 2 chassis fan plugs on the
mainboard (currently without fans plugged into them) which would give
me a total of 4.  Of the 3 fans lm-sensors outputs values for, one of
them reads 0 which I assume if one of the chassis fan ports.  Is it a
bug that the 4th is not there or could I have possibly done something
wrong?

I'm still fairly new to linux, lm-sensors, and this mailing list so
please excuse if this has been addressed in the past at some point.

Many thanks!

Some info...
Debian (sid)

Asus M2NPV-VM mainboard
AMD Athlon64-X2 4400+ cpu
lm-sensors version 1:2.10.3-1

some output from sensors-detect:
