I don't know exactly where the cut off is or what they changed but current versions get an HMAC error.  I strongly suspect that it is keying the hmac with some combination of inputs that include an improperly translated text string, but I don't know for sure.  Its quite hard to track down when you don't have a debugger.

Incidentally, I just merged a pull request that fixed a misspelled EBCDIC string to master and 1.1.1.

But I have no idea whether it is related to your problem. Nevertheless, you might want to retry with the current tip of the OpenSSL_1_1_1-stable branch.
