The reason is (most likely) that your fan input does not have a pull-up resistor. Per datasheet, the fan inputs need a 10kOhm pull-up resistor. I confirmed this with my test board - with the pull-up resistor, inputs read 0, Without pull-up, the reported value is 1, which translates to 30 RPM. You might also need the 10 uF capacitor on the FB pin.
We have both of them in place as per requirement for the chip as far
as I understand the datasheet. The circuit would not work properly
without it.

Only fan2 (TACH1 chip input) has the resistor installed.
We have it both on fan1 and fan4.
If I use our scope for checking the tachometer, I see level zero on
the scope, but 1 when checking the open collector level, since that is
the purpose of the pull-up resistor.
With the pull-up installed, you should always see a high voltage on the
scope or with a volt meter. The scope would not see or be able to know
that the pin is OC if the pull-up resistor is there.
If it is truly OC, it would be floating and might show low. If you can,
I would suggest to manually add a 10k resistor against VCC to the open
connector and see what happens.
Another way to find out for sure might be to disconnect power and
measure resistance between the tachometer pin and VCC.
