ARRRRGGGHHH!

I found the answer: shells is a comma-separated list; shellpath is a 
colon-separated list.

So my new /etc/pw.conf reads
	shellpath /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
	shells sh,csh,tcsh,bash
	defaultshell bash

And it all works fine.  Oh how I wish I read the man page fully before 
starting...
