 If it's stuff like that :

remove the beastie menu from the image I think

 I don't have this problem on my RPI3B+ with latest ALPHA snapshot.
 The patch is still in the u-boot-rpi3 port
(https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/sysutils/u-boot-rpi3/files/patch-lib=
_efi__loader_efi__console.c?revision=3D468630&view=3Dmarkup)
so I don't know what going on for you.

 The users are added with pw directly (iirc) and the /etc/skel content
isn't copied in their home directory, that's something we should change
for 13 and mfc back for 12.1
