Reading @

	https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/apps/pkcs12.html

		"By default the private key is encrypted using triple DES and the 
certificate using 40 bit RC2."

which clearly implies, with RC2 disabled (it is), that'll cause a 
problem in default config.

Adding the options

	openssl pkcs12 -export \
>>>	-descert

fixes the problem, insofar as no error's caused on export.

Would code to enable/use "-descert" as default cert, in the case of RC2 
disabled, be called for?

Or, perhaps with RC2 considered 'weak' these days, worhtwhile to make 
"-descert" the default?
