When connecting via serial port, you don't have a user-friendly line-editing interface
so it's possible to get inadvertent control characters embedded in a string. Try this
experiment and see if you get a similar result:

    init: starting /bin/rc
    % echo $user
    somebody
    % echo $nvram
    #S/sdM0/nvram
    % echo $nvram | xd -c
    0000000   #  S  /  s  d  M  0  /  n  v  r  a  m \n
    000000e 
    % ls -l $nvram
    --rw-r----- S 0 somebody somebody 512 Apr 14 19:54 '#S/sdM0/nvram'
    % auth/readnvram
    key proto=p9sk1 user=hamnavoe dom=hamnavoe.com !hex=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX !password=______
