Setting a breakpoint inside of the error printer gives me this:

(gdb) print e
$1 = std::io::error::Error {repr: std::io::error::repr_bitpacked::Repr (core::ptr::non_null::NonNull<()> {pointer: 0x0}, core::marker::PhantomData<std::io::error::ErrorData<alloc::boxed::Box<std::io::error::Custom, alloc::alloc::Global>>>)}

So it's some kind of weird niche issue. My guess is that somehow the dynamically linked functions are null when Alpine links them together, thus causing Rust to assume that it's somehow gotten a null IO error.
