Yes. For example, debian woody creates it this way:

mysql:x:100:101:MySQL Server:/var/lib/mysql:/bin/false

IMHO, you should consider to tell whoever created your
installation/distribution to consider to change that.

Anyhow, a encrypted password of "x" doesn't let anybody login,
so this is a minor problem.

No, this has nothing to do with each other.
