/me/apprequests returns null "from" property

Question

When I use Graph API to access user's apprequests, /me/apprequests sometimes returns null "from" property, like the following.

{
  "data" : [
    {
      "id" : "xxxxxx_xxxxx",
      "to" : {
        "name":"xxxxx xxxxx",
        "id":"xxxxxx",
      },
      "from" : null
    }
  ]
}

This occurs for some users data, but not always. How come this happens? All apprequests are created in same way, using Fb.ui({method: 'apprequests',...});

It could be a bug in the API. Is this situation reproducible? If so, you should log the bug with facebook. — DMCS, Dec 26 '11 at 15:41
Yes, if the data returns null "from" property, it always returns null for the same data. — Masakazu Matsushita, Dec 27 '11 at 01:28

I've created a bug report and received an answer as follows.

It's due to privacy checks on the user who sent the request, in some cases (user deactivated their account, user removed your app, etc) you won't be able to read anything, including ID, about the sender of the request.
