I think it's a bug.
Misleading logs related to security events are not nice.

Just filed as bug 193184

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193184

And yes, the problem is caused by a chroot() call to an empty directory.

  [pid 9996] chroot("/var/empty/sshd")   = 0

Best regards.
