Not strange at all - you showed a screen shot from the PK2 standalone software, that supports a LOT more PIC's than the MPLAB PK2 interface - if he's using MPLAB, then it's likely it's not supported via that.
I originally bought a PK3 as the devices I was using weren't supported via MPLAB on the PK2.

I can't figure out how to link to this at the moment, but this screen shot shows one ace wherevthisvhas been discussed before. I believe there are other MrDEB threads as well.
not sure how I lost it. I need to try using another pickit2 as I have two?
the pickit2 shows version 2.61
found another thread saying I need to locate the pickit2.dat file and update it
