I just happen to have a Windows Vista installation on this box as well, and I just thought to check. Sorry, I wish I'd have thought of it sooner but I don't go there often. You folks might be interested to know that Windows appears to have the same silly problem with the i/o resources (from Device Manager):
[000000290 - 000000294] Motherboard resources [000000290 - 00000029F] Motherboard resources
I don't have anything that reads sensors in Windows though, so I couldn't tell you if it could access that it87 chip or not.
So this pretty much confirms that it's a motherboard/bios issue.
