Although this does seem wrong to me, the code does it deliberately. I'm not sure why, it may be to be compatible with Linux (as the -x option is documented in the man page as giving "Linux format" output).
- Second. Because of a missing suid-bit on the newgrp command, this one is not really usable for users other than root.
This is deliberate, and is docimented in make.conf(5). Because almost nobody uses newgrp(1) and because it has the potential to be a security hole, it's not installed setuid by default. If you want it installing setuid, set ENABLE_SUID_NEWGRP in make.conf.
