IIRC, the 8 and 9 mm issue is a camera limitation, but the lens not being recognized is a Lightroom problem.
Firmware may be updated to show the correct focal length, but who know when that will be, it's been an issue for a couple of years. Lightroom will probably correct itself on the next point release (if there is one before LR5 is released).
