I also did that and got the same result here with FC4.

There's nothing related to that in

/var/log/secure
/var/log/messages
/var/log/audit/audit.log

Couldn't find anything helpful in
 
rpm -q --changelog util-linux | grep login
<search> site:bugzilla.redhat.com

Then I thought of how one could strace `login` ?  ? ?

Hopefully someone else can tell what's happening.
