I haven't looked into MySQL in detail recently but this could be expected. The plugin will slurp in all Com_stmt_* rows returned from "SHOW GLOBAL STATUS" and submit all values that are not zero. According to that, if there are any commands that have not been issued then the respective data-sets will not be stored by collectd (meaning: the files won't be created or updated). According to the mysql plugin code, these values are counter values, that is, I suppose they are reset whenever MySQL restarts. Thus, a value of zero actually means the respective command has not been used at all and, thus, I think it's fine to ignore them.
