No Plan.

User can log in successfully.

As far as I can tell from passwd(5), getpwuid should work.  As it is,
numerous programs, including sudo and ssh, fail.

Fix: 

If this not up anyone's ally, I could dig around the code myself.  Just let
me know. :)

Does this problem still occur in newer versions of FreeBSD, 
such as 4.3-RELEASE?
