It's normal behavior if the directory group is "wheel".

5.1 uses statically linked binaries in /bin and /sbin, that's why
ls(1) doesn't print names for users that not exist in the local
password file. It's not a big problem, but if you prefer ls(1) and
the others programs from /bin and /sbin to work with user names
instead of UIDs you must upgrade to 5.2 or better ;-)
