Since x11 is a provided virtual package rather than one that is generated directly by fink, it doesn't have a version number or show up with an i flag if it exists. If it weren't being provided, "fink list" wouldn't show it.
This design certainly is confusing to the user though. I have been confused in the past by the fact that x11 didn't have an "i" beside it, but I didn't complain as everything seemed to be working correctly. Shouldn't it be possible to code a special case so that virtual packages look like they are installed?
