Security Advisor incorrectly identifies my phone encryption status

I'm using the mobile security app version 4.0.1435 (12) on my Nexus 6 and the security advisor identifies my encryption status incorrectly. The phone arrived with Lollipop 5.0.0 installed and encryption turned on by default. I'm currently rooted and running a custom ROM (Lollipop 5.0.2) but I haven't disabled the forced encryption and the device settings show the phone is encrypted. I'm curious about how the security advisor determines the encryption status - especially since it contradicts the other encryption status indications I have seen on my phone.

It is worth noting that even if you configure a screen lock pin in conjunction with encryption, if you subsequently enable an accessibility provider (for example the LastPass autofill feature) the encryption pin will be disabled and you receive this warning. This seems to be an issue in Android.
