FreeBSD's crypt(3) doesn't explain the 'salt' for Blowfish crypt exactly. OpenBSD's crypt(3) says: "The Blowfish version of crypt has 128 bits of salt in order to make building dictionaries of common passwords space consuming."

I wrote a few lines of C code. Copied the salts from the output above to it and cryt()ed "test". The result differs:
$2a$05$/Ae.aeamG.....O.../52uwMz3Q1WQSyWoWTy6zNndsrkAl2fnTn.

I hope I'll find some useful hints in the near future.
