I guess it's too late.  Running with -v doesn't provide anything interesting.
I'd be happy to try to help in some way like copying libz back into the
jail or something but that probably won't recreate the same situation.  Is
there anything else I could do to help figure this out?

Well, I haven't changed the jail configuration for a few years,
so whatever binaries that have changed in the jail are only
those that change in the normal course of O/S updates.

I'm not sure what tools libz provides or what binaries use
libz.  Do you know?  jk_update or jk_check both do not
currently complain about missing libz or try to add it.
