Well, this is how crypt(3) works.  The first two characters of the
generated hash are the first two characters of the salt you use.  Now
if you use the salt as the password/phrase then the behavior is the above.
[Actually the salt used is *only* the first two characters of the salt you
supply]

I believe the internic guys will change this to a random salt...
