Is this the version from ports or plain from source? If self-compiled,
which flags were used? What is the contents of /etc/nsswitch.conf?

This seems to happen if bash cannot lookup the username. From looking at
the source code it happens when getpwuid() fails or on some platforms
when getpwnam(getlogin()) fails.

The only thing that I can think of is that bash is compiled differently
from other binaries (perhaps if compat is used in /etc/nsswitch.conf).

Sadly, I don't know too much about the FreeBSD NSS implementation.
