It turns out it does:

Mar 19 08:52:35 test4 sshd[27210]: error: Bind to port 22 on :: failed: Can't assign requested address.

It turns out it does:

root at test4:/ # sockstat -l
USER     COMMAND    PID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN ADDRESS
root     sendmail   28249 3  tcp4   192.168.4.204:25      *:*
root     sshd       28246 3  tcp6   2001:470:ecba:3::4:22 *:*
root     sshd       28246 4  tcp4   192.168.4.204:22      *:*
root     syslogd    28181 5  udp4   192.168.4.204:514     *:*
root     syslogd    28181 6  dgram  /var/run/log
root     syslogd    28181 7  dgram  /var/run/logpriv

same with other daemons:

root at test4:/ # service syslogd restart
Stopping syslogd.
Waiting for PIDS: 28181.
Starting syslogd.
root at test4:/ # sockstat -l
USER     COMMAND    PID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN ADDRESS
root     syslogd    28678 5  udp6   2001:470:ecba:3::4:514 *:*
root     syslogd    28678 6  udp4   192.168.4.204:514     *:*
root     syslogd    28678 7  dgram  /var/run/log
root     syslogd    28678 8  dgram  /var/run/logpriv

OK, I've added it to the configs of 3 experimental jails.

It goes away partially (only for sshd in 2 of the 3 available jails), and
not for syslogd in any of the 3 available jails. Restarting the daemons
from within the jail fixes the problem. An example from a problem jail:

root at vas:~ # jexec test5
root at test5:/ # sockstat -l
USER     COMMAND    PID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN ADDRESS
root     sendmail   29495 3  tcp4   192.168.4.205:25      *:*
root     sshd       29492 3  tcp4   192.168.4.205:22      *:*
root     syslogd    29427 5  udp4   192.168.4.205:514     *:*
root     syslogd    29427 6  dgram  /var/run/log
root     syslogd    29427 7  dgram  /var/run/logpriv

There is obviously a race somewhere, but the 2 second sleep does not
eliminate it entirely.

Thank you for the hint in the right direction, what would you suggest
further?
