I thought 0x1095/0x3726 was a Silicon Image part. Can you confirm this?
If it is, this sounds like a broken implementation to me. Here is what the Silicon Image 3726 Data Sheet says in the introduction: Silicon Image’s SiI3726 is 1-to-5 SATA Port Multiplier designed to provide a high performance link between a single SATA host port and 5 SATA device ports.
So I don't know where the 6th device is getting connected. Some explanation/data sheet from the HW vendor would be helpful at this point.

Both of these drives work behind Sil3726. (First hand experience).
