No, NetBSD is at fault here.  ;)

The tty0[01] entries above were renamed to ttyZ[01] some time ago. While
there are symlinks in place for compatibility, login apparently compares
the ttys entry with the actual device when it checks whether root may login
there ("secure").

The /etc/ttys change is in -current, but wasn't pulled up to the release
branches.
