System Properties Shows Zero Processors

I'm looking for any information to explain why Windows servers (2003 and 2008) running as ESXi 5.1 guests are showing zero processors in the System Properties dialog. Performance is normal, and the Task Manager shows the correct number of vCPUs. But System Properties looks like this:

The machine has two vCPUs. Is it normal for a zero to be listed here? I haven't been able to find anyone mentioning a similar observation, but I see it across more than one guest on more than one OS on more than one host.

showing zero processors

Well, it is not actually 0 shown as processors here. Its the processor model shown as  "Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2643 0" @ 3.30GHz.

It seems the other name for 2643 is "2643 0" PassMark - Intel Xeon E5-2643 @ 3.30GHz - Price performance comparison
