Interesting point indeed.
However, I think it's not the case (hard to be sure without actually being logged in): /etc/passwd configures root's home directory as simply /
Other guides for setting up telnet don't mention any root home directory's manipulation either.
Can you think of a way to check if home directory might be the problem?

I'm personally suspecting /dev/pts right now: the script I used creates it and mounts it, but I see fstab is *also* mounting it. Is this expected?
Using ftp, I do see /dev/pts as "/dev/pts?" (question mark in the file name). Is that expected?
