They are proper for the hashes listed. I put \x40\x00\x64\x6f\x62\x32
into a file and ran sha1 sum over it, and this is the result:
$ sha1sum in1
d2fe19d3d33ab25c335e870328faa2306a92c65b *in1
which matches the string in your input data. So that string with the
null byte is 100% correct for that hash. John does not handle null
bytes in input words at all, and probably never will.
