The basic gist from that GitHub issue in [1] is that “upgrading software versions fixed the problem I was seeing”, so my gut feeling is that it might be a problem with a jail’s userspace binaries being out of sync with the corresponding ports software versions.

A quick skim of this LLM-generated page helps go into the generic issue in more detail, providing possible insights into what might be causing the issue: https://ithy.com/article/fix-openssl-error0a000126-for-ssl-8w813fv2 (in short it’s a very generic TLS handshake problem). It doesn’t go into the poudriere jail possibility, but one can infer that being a possibility since Docker container configuration debugging is mentioned in the article.
