I got the above sensors data after running sensors -s and
then running
sensors twice separated by at least five seconds, as
recommended in the
service response to another ticket with a similar problem
reported.
And here is the via686 section of /etc/sensors.conf.

# VIA is very specific about the voltage sensor inputs, and
our labels
# reflect what they say. Unfortunately, they are not at all
specific about
# how to convert any of the register values to real units.
Fortunately,
# Jonathan Yew <j.teh at iname.com> and Alex van Kaam
<darkside at chello.nl>
# came through with some data for temp conversion and
formulae for voltage
# conversion. However, the conversions should be regarded as
our best guess-
# YMMV.
# On the Tyan S1598, the 2.5V sensor reads 0 and is not
displayed in the BIOS.
# Linas Vepstas <linas at linas.org> reports that this sensor
shows nothing of
# interest on the Abit KA7 (Athlon), and is also not
displayed in the BIOS.
# Likewise, Johannes Drechsel-Burkhard <jdb at chello.at>
reports that this
# sensor is unavailable in the BIOS of his MSI K7T Pro
(Thunderbird). So,
# if you have one of these boards you may want to uncomment
the 'ignore 2.5V'
