Go with bug ;-) - fix (improvement?) is working it's way through.

You mentioned running 8.2 so I wondered if it has changed.

If you look through the source tree you will find in 8.4 that line has
the -n ${_jail} addition plus some other extras.

Looks like it showed up in stable/8 at r242083 as part of a larger 
improvement.
