I have looked at your code and briefly at fncychap. As I can see,
fncychap dos not do anything with headers and footer, you do it with
fancyhdr. How can fncychap know about other packages? It is described
in LaTeX documentation that \chapter contains implicitely
\thispagestyle{plain}, thus it cannot be considered a bug that the
feature is preserved in a package. You can only submit a feature
request of adding header.footer definition to fncychap.
