[2] = "CHAT_CATEGORY_YELL"
[3] = "CHAT_CATEGORY_WHISPER_INCOMING"
[4] = "CHAT_CATEGORY_WHISPER_OUTGOING"
[6] = "CHAT_CATEGORY_ZONE"
... (the table is in total 41 entries long)
ipairs will stop dead after entry 4.
As opposed to pairs, wich goes properly over the full table.
As far as I understand the syntax those are global functions.
Any chance Zenimax bugged ipairs up?
Any chance some addon is overwriting ipairs with a faulty version?

From what I understand, ipairs only works with "well-formed" tables (i.e. sequential indices without any gaps, 1-indexed). Your table is missing index 5, which is why ipairs stops there.
