The problem here is that you're using the plugin incorrectly. The only
possible wildcard values are these: temp, fan, volt. So the symlinks
should be sensors_fan, sensors_temp, and sensors_volt.

I've added some text to the plugin's documentation clarifying this in
upstream changeset 4854: http://munin-monitoring.org/changeset/4854

I also enhanced the plugin in changeset 4856 to get the warning and
critical values from sensors output like yours. I've tested that the
plugin works correctly with your sensors output, provided you use the
correct symlinks.
