1940 U.S. census index problem

Only six records appear to be indexed from this page of the 1940 U.S. census, and two of them appear to be duplicates of each other. (When you click on one entry for Fannie Crauford, it highlights both records.)

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L9MB-9CYR

I think additional records may have been indexed from this page, but some sort of error is preventing them from appearing.

A similar error also appears more frequently on the 1930 U.S. census.

I wish there was a way to report these sorts of errors directly from the image viewer when some indexed records are missing.

    @Fredelas from reddit First, we're sorry that you've waited so long for a response. Yes, we see that the image index from this 1940 US Census page is incomplete. It does appear that all were indexed and can be found using the search feature. But, as you noticed, if you are browsing instead of searching, you are not able to pull up the record details page showing the indexed information for most of the individuals on the page. We have reported this problem to engineering. We are not able to predict how long it might take for the image index to be corrected. Our apologies for the error.
