Well, 528 happened to be the size of config_types.h --and of
config_types.h from a build that did not get the corruption there.

So looking at the other (later) corruption, which was a bigger file
(looking via bulk -i and installing what contained the file but
looking from outside the jail):

# find /usr/local/ -name "libtextstyle.so*" -exec ls -Tld {} \;
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  2339104 Nov 20 01:05:05 2021 /usr/local/poudriere/data/.m/13_0R-CA7-default/ref/usr/local/lib/libtextstyle.so.0.1.1
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  21 Nov 20 01:05:05 2021 /usr/local/poudriere/data/.m/13_0R-CA7-default/ref/usr/local/lib/libtextstyle.so.0 -> libtextstyle.so.0.1.1
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  21 Nov 20 01:05:05 2021 /usr/local/poudriere/data/.m/13_0R-CA7-default/ref/usr/local/lib/libtextstyle.so -> libtextstyle.so.0.1.1

hd /usr/local/poudriere/data/.m/13_0R-CA7-default/ref/usr/local/lib/libtextstyle.so.0.1.1 | more
00000000  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |................|
*
0023b120

So the whole, over 2 MiByte, the whole file ended up with just null Bytes.

To cross check on live system caching vs. on disk, I rebooted and redid the
bulk -i based install of libtextstyle and looked at libtextstyle.so.0.1.1 :
still all zeros.

For reference, zpool scrub afterward resulted in:

# zpool status
  pool: zopt0
 state: ONLINE
  scan: scrub repaired 0B in 00:01:49 with 0 errors on Sat Nov 20 11:47:31 2021
config:

        NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        zopt0       ONLINE       0     0     0
          nda1p3    ONLINE       0     0     0

But it is not a ZFS redundancy context: ZFS used just to use bectl .
