I don't think this is a problem with su. The same occurs when running login in a shell, then logging out. I've seen this bug in FreeBSD since early 4.x, I guess I just never bothered to mention it, thinking someone would notice and fix it. It has certainly scared me a few times, it would be nice if it was corrected.
