That might be the case. I remember having to make changes to the shared object
before. The question then becomes, why only this update to libc6 and not
previous updates?

That's what the documentation says:
"Linux mode dynamically reroots lookups. This is, in effect, equivalent to
union to file system mounts. First, an attempt is made to look up the file in
/compat/linux/original-path. If that fails, the lookup is done in
/original-path. This makes sure that binaries that require other binaries can
run."
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/linuxemu/#linuxemu-advanced
Looking at the installer script, it's clear this is a known issue:
$ sed -n '/fix_ld_path(/,/^$/p'
/usr/local/share/linux-browser-installer/linux-browser-installer
fix_ld_path()
{
(cd ${chroot_path}/lib64 && \
(unlink ./ld-linux-x86-64.so.2; \
ln -s ../lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-${ld_version}.so \
ld-linux-x86-64.so.2))
}
So, either:
1. The documentation is wrong.
2. It's a bug.
