--- Comment #1 from Kristof Provost <kp@freebsd.org> ---
This appears to be a deliberate feature:

In pwgets() (in sys/boot/geli/pwgets.c):
        case 'r'&037: {
            char *p;

            putchar('\n');
            for (p =3D buf; p < lp; ++p)
                putchar(*p);
            break;
        }

I've not found a justification for it in the commit message or the review
discussion.
Assigning to the original author for more input.
