I have noticed something similar on one machine, and I think the login
window is just hiding users that have never been logged in. It did not
show some regular users (UID>500) either, but after a certain user had
logged in for the first time, he appeared in the list.
You will probably find that the 'passwd' users still show up in the System
prefs panel, but at least that's less annoying (just don't get tempted to
remove them there...).

Actually I was pretty sure they were _not_ in my Prefs, but they are there
now! Either I am just confused or maybe they only keep out of there if
they have never been installed with a UID>99, or maybe this also changed
with 10.1.2...
