Passing --strip-metadata produces a binary that throws source not available

[nickrobinson251]

Using v1.10.2, we tried passing --strip-metadata (to PackageCompiler.create_app) but at runtime we see the error:

source not available for free(OpenSSL.BIOMethod) from free(OpenSSL.BIOMethod)
error in running finalizer: ErrorException("source missing for method that needs to be compiled")

Given the binary works as expected when built without --strip-metadata, and that option is only supposed to remove debug info types of things, I think this is a bug.

Let me know what more info would be helpful. Some folks at JuliaHub have access to the RAI codebase so we can help them reproduce this if helpful.

(The RAI codebase isn't yet compatible with Julia v1.11 or v1.12 so i've not been able to check if the same issue is present in those versions)
