Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
I have reproduced the behaviour you describe on 5.4.9-4ubuntu2.
According to the documentation, the salt provided for Blowfish must be:
22 characters from the alphabet ./0-9A-Za-z
See:
My question is then, why does this behaviour only show itself on Ubuntu
(debian?) based systems? None of the other OS'es I have tried seem to
have this issue. In fact it seems they fill the 'missing' salt with '$'.

Debian/Ubuntu may use a different implementation perhaps, such as the
system one. But what you have is a question rather than a bug - perhaps
try askubuntu.com?

Yes, PHP up to and including 5.4 (the patch hasn't been ported to 5.5
yet) is using system implementation of available ciphers.
