Doesn't one of the test programs in test/ do something similar?
Another option is if you could craft a simple program that
demonstrates the issue, that would certainly help.

Lastly, unless you get a quick answer here, this might be worth making
a github issue here: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues

Cheers,
