This is a known issue. There are a couple relevant bugs:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238326
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237656

There are some workaround available too. I detail the one I use here:

https://wiki.freebsd.org/MasonLoringBliss/JailsEpair

...but there are others. In short, you need to dispose of your epair before
the jail is destroyed.

Vaguely related... Something I've been wondering recently is whether
there'd be support for the idea of converting /etc/master.passwd,
/etc/passwd, /etc/rc.conf, and /etc/ssh/sshd_config in install media to
symlinks pointing into /tmp/bsdinstall_etc.

As of today I use mount_unionfs to modify these so I can fire up sshd
inside the installer image live environment, but it does seem like a missed
opportunity to make sshd available usefully out of the box, especially
since the bits are all there already - it's just not possible to make use
of them without some trickery because of the immutable configs.

The fixed password is so that you can access the system to install in the
first place. (My comment, for clarity, applies to the live environment you
get with the amd64 .iso installer, for example.)
