strange quota behaviour

hi list,

I am going to add user "test" in system:
~/:sudo pw useradd test -m

then, I am going to check quotas
~/:sudo quota -u -v test
Disk quotas for user test (uid 2022):
     Filesystem   usage   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit
grace
          /home      36       0       0               9       0
0

Now, I am going to add another user, named "12345"
~/:sudo pw useradd 12345 -m
Password for '12345' is: qdmjPx4YVP

then, I am going to check quotas
~/:sudo quota -u -v 12345
Disk quotas for user (no account) (uid 12345):
     Filesystem   usage   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit
grace
          /home       0       0       0               0       0
0

Please, note that in quota output for user 12345, it says, there is no such
user
> Disk quotas for user (no account) (uid 12345):

if I do this:
~/odoslat:sudo pw useradd m12345 -m
Password for 'm12345' is: 8bqhCfMjZREr5D8
~/odoslat:sudo quota -u -v m12345
Disk quotas for user m12345 (uid 2024):
     Filesystem   usage   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit
grace
          /home      36       0       0               9       0
0

everything is fine.

So question, I am able to create user 12345, but I cant set quotas for him?
Isn't this a bug?
