This is just a guess. It looks like the SDR data is filled with some invalid data, which is checked when you run w/ -S. Perhaps ipmitool does not check/care if the version data is valid/invalid when you run without -S. One experiment is just to flat out remove those checks from the tool and see if things work out fine. Updating the firmware is also a possibility if the SDR is out of date.
