I went ahead and looked into it some more and used your existing
debugging code.  connect(2) is returning -1 but not setting errno, as
you said.  I also checked that errno wasn't set to 0 explicitly (even
though if I'm understanding correctly, that'd still be broken
behavior).  I've submitted a PR with FreeBSD.  Still not sure why the
connect is failing in the first place, but hopefully it's not
something I've screwed up on my part.  I find it really strange that
it works in Apache but not CLI.

Time will tell.

Thanks for your help,
