I get the same as you on Debian 8.6. On unstable the command 'lsblk -f'
shows all the fields populated. I wonder what Felipe Salvador is using?

At the least there is a little mystery. At the most it could be you have
run across buggy behaviour.

It appears to me that permissions, security, root privileges etc, etc
have nothing to do with it. None of the information is security
sensitive or requires root access and is available from elsewhere. For
example:

 udevadm info --query=property --name=/dev/sda1 | grep ID_FS_TYPE

This command is probably more useful than lsblk for use in scripts.
