 Why do you think this is a bug?
 
 From pw(8) manual page:
 
      The usershow command allows viewing of an account in one of two formats.
      By default, the format is identical to the format used in
      /etc/master.passwd with the password field replaced with a `*'.  If the
      -P option is used, then pw outputs the account details in a more human
      readable form.  If the -7 option is used, the account details are shown
      in v7 format.  The -a option lists all users currently on file.  Using -F
      forces pw to print the details of an account even if it does not exist.
 
 Maybe you intended to file this as a change-request? If so, you need to
 patch the manual page too.
