For what it's worth...

conky 1.10.6 compiled Fri Dec 9 09:25:19 UTC 2016 (recently upgraded from Jessie).

2 years, 6 months ago. Too old and unreliable to troubleshoot this version. Try a newer version?

I'm on Arch. I have /sys/devices/system/cpu/present present too. What's your uname -a?

Looking around. I think this might be fixed in https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky/issues/127 (v1.11.3).

Yeah, that's fair -- I've just upgraded this machine to Debian 9.9 and that's what's in the repos (I've been waiting for them to release buster, and just couldn't wait any longer for something I need).

$;uname -a
Linux simonw-ul 2.6.32-042stab120.11 #1 SMP Wed Nov 16 12:05:45 MSK 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Seems odd that the version in the Debian Stable repos wouldn't work on Debian Stable, though, right?

Not #127 because I tried present0 and compiled. It's happening here too.

Ought to find out why you don't have /sys/devices/system/cpu/present... and if there is a fallback file to parse? It print numbers like 0-3 or so. I think it is because you are on old kernel that doesn't have this.
