I can't reproduce your error message, but your command won't do what you
want anyway.  The nc command that comes with FreeBSD doesn't support the
"listen on a socket and run a command" option.  Its -e is an ipsec option. 
If you install /usr/ports/net/netcat and use that command, it should work:

netcat -l -p 12345 -e /usr/local/bin/bash
