I've never seen such spreading of the message "No SNMP data found"-status. 
Are the variables in  the templates in use linked with one another somehow?

If the availability of the temp probe does not change too fast, you might 
circumvent the problem by specifying which tests should be performed in the 
DEVMON-directive of the host in the xymon configuration file hosts.cfg.
