Weird one to me. Maybe someone else knows...
You were doing this test in an X terminal window, right? and not on a text-only console?
The reason that I say that is that I can reproduce this problem on 2.5.68, but only in an xterm or similar window, but when I switch back to a console, the entire device list is displayed.
