 Sorry guys,
 
 It would appear the problem is not with the FreeBSD core, but instead with 
 /usr/bin/adduser, which I used to set my test user's password initially, 
 the problem did not apply to passwords changed later (as they should be) 
 with "passwd".
 
 The issue is, therefore, with adduser - but I don't know how relevant it is 
 considering users should change their passwords anyway after being added. :)
 
 Regards,
