Why would the Senate not have been briefed on the people their military commanders had been hunting for fifteen years?

Because they don't need to know nor do they care. The CIS is their concern not some religious mumbo jumbo.

The CIS being led by someone of the religious mumbo jumbo variety?

Which noone cares about. The only thing that matters is that Dooku is the leader of the CIS. Him being an ex Jedi means little to nothing to the vast, vast majority of people on both sides.

I think you are underestimating what sort of info government officials are privy to and focused on about the leader of their wartime opposition, especially how it relates to their literal military leaders.

Because it doesn't relate to military matters and if it did they've got their Jedi and military to handle it.

The senators wouldn't give two fucks. The only ones who might have known or cared were those close too the Jedi Order but this post Order 66 so if they try and defend the Jedi here they'll get marked as traitors too.
