SUSE could unfortunately not be convinced to generally fix this in the SLES11 releases available.
In SLES 12, they use a /etc/lsb-release.d which does proper information on the service pack.

For SLES11
It needs a patch FusionInventory:
The detection code is rather simple:

lib/FusionInventory/Agent/Task/Inventory/Linux/Distro/LSB.pm handles LSB supporting systems
lib/FusionInventory/Agent/Task/Inventory/Linux/Distro/NonLSB.pm is called if a system has no lsb_release binary

If lsb_release is not available on a system everything works.
thus,

detect the OS
if it's sles11, do not go to the lsb_release handler and return
if we're still there, continue as it was - check if lsb_release and use that or don't if it's not there.
