Thanks to Chris Moerz at
<https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-desktop/2025-January/005301.html>,
I looked more closely at the 278948 answer in Stack Exchange. 

Following the example for macOS (without disclosing my true password): 

grahamperrin:/tmp % echo -n plaintext_password_here | iconv -t UTF-16LE |
openssl dgst -md4 -provider legacy
MD4(stdin)= 6602f435f01b9173889a8d3b9bdcfd0b
grahamperrin:/tmp % 

– no error.

That might be enough for me to close this as not a bug. I'll aim to confirm no
later than week ending Friday 24th January.
