See http://devcentral.f5.com/Forums/tabid/1082223/asg/52/showtab/groupforums/afv/topic/aff/31/aft/23410/Default.aspx and sol10430.
The first post details what you're seeing the Stats page. You don't see cookie persistence records here as the info is in the cookie. The second post is in regards to uneven traffic distribution.
Also from askf5 I also read the following:
"Using Source Address Affinity as a fallback persistence method may also create the appearance that the BIG-IP system incorrectly distributes more requests to a particular server. The reason for this is that the default persistence profile and
the fallback profile operate simultaneously. The BIG-IP system uses the fallback persistence method when it cannot use the
specified default persistence profile. For example, when the client does not indicate a persistence record, the fallback
persistence method is consulted before making a load balancing decision."
Hope this helps.
