Can't reproduce:

$ vmstat -m | grep cred
         cred    38     5K      5K    22714  128

[ serveral nc & telnet tests I port early in non-jail environment ]

$ vmstat -m | grep cred
         cred    38     5K      5K    22833  128

[ same tests in jail ]

$ vmstat -m | grep cred
         cred    42     6K      6K    23034  128
$ jls
   JID  IP Address      Hostname                      Path
     4  127.0.0.1       j                             /
     3  127.0.0.1       j                             /
     2  127.0.0.1       j                             /
     1  127.0.0.1       j                             /
