That's very strange.  I've installed the shadow package
several times on BL2 without this happening.  Did you use
installpkg to install it?  What command did you use to 
set the password?

Do the following to determine the actual path for root:
----------
echo $PATH
----------

cat is in /bin  and id is in /usr/bin

/etc/login.defs also sets path (and that file is overwritten
by the shadow package).
