First of all: we have two "login" program: the fake/rustic one /bin/login,
and GNU login in /usr/srv/bin/login. The second take place only if
you load the SRV addon.
So, /bin/login acts as wrapper: in the case SRV is not in memory, it
simply call "ash".
As you surely guessed it, the rustic login do not inspect the
/etc/passwd, so check what really happens in your case.
