I have no idea why, and since init(8) is responsible for this record, I can't even see how it would happen. It certainly doesn't happen here, on 3 machines that run -CURRENT just before the lite2 merges. BTW, wtmp isn't involved in this - utmp is. Did you perhaps change /etc/tty's and sighup process 1 just before this? A freak race condition is all that comes to mind. Is it repeatable after a reboot?
