That didn't work, and now I am able to make the test fail with 
a slightly different error:

t/starttls.t .. 
ok 1 - Accepted client for Test01: STARTTLS support
ok 2 - Accepted client for Test02: STARTTLS invalid parameters
ok 3 - Accepted client for Test03: STARTTLS handshake
# Error: TLS handshake failed SSL connect attempt failed error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number at t/starttls.t line 117.
# kill 9, 24096 (server)
All 3 subtests passed 

Test Summary Report
-------------------
t/starttls.t (Wstat: 9 Tests: 3 Failed: 0)
  Non-zero wait status: 9
  Parse errors: No plan found in TAP output

Looking at the test certificate, it has a 1024-bit key, which may be 
the root reason, although the error message above doesn't confirm 
that.

... and a minute later the test succeeds, after replacing 
t/certs/server-{cert,key}.pem with a senf-signed 4096-bit certificate


Will prepare a proper patch, forward it upstream and upload.
