Well, it IS odd that you're using sudo when logged in as root 8o)
Did you edit /usr/local/etc/sudoers ?
I tried you're commands here and I don't get the Last login message.
I'm currently running 7.0-RELEASE, but this machine was originally installed 
way back during 5.x days and I installed sudo way back then.
In sudoers, do you have "root    ALL=(ALL) ALL" ?
