nmap 'ssl-enum-ciphers' does not display all ciphers

Hi

I've been using nmap's 'ssl-enum-ciphers' script to probe a nginx system using the following cipher settings:

  ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
  ssl_protocols   TLSv1.2 TLSv1.1 TLSv1;
  ssl_ciphers "DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDH-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDH-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDH-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDH-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256";

I expected 'ssl-enum-ciphers' to show all of these ciphers.  But, it shows only two:

ledmf081:~ # nmap -sV -p 443 --script ssl-enum-ciphers 10.7.104.53

Is this a known defect?

My environment is:

ledmf081:~ # nmap -v
