Interesting, I suspect it's some bad interaction with fork() causing
signal handlers/pthreads to go bad.  I expect the following simple
script to work flawlessly since it doesn't fork:

----------------------------------------
trap(:QUIT) { exit(0) }
puts "Ready for SIGQUIT on #$$"
sleep
----------------------------------------

Can you report this as a bug to the Ruby core folks on
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ and also to whereever the FreeBSD hackers
take bug reports?  Somebody from one of those camps should be able
to resolve the issue.

The good thing is my small sample script is enough to reproduce the
issue, so it should be easy for an experienced FreeBSD hacker to
track down.

It could be a timing or race condition issue.  I've had strace on linux
find/hide bugs because it slowed the program down enough.
