I tried this again (openssl3) and got the following:

I'm going to mark this as Fix Released.

Title:
Ctrl-\ after rejected key-encryption password causes hang
Status in openssl package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: openssl
Create the following shell script:
#!/bin/sh
openssl genrsa -aes256
And run it.
After a key is generated, you will be prompted for an encryption
password. Press enter. Since empty passwords are not allowed here,
you will be prompted a second time. Now press Ctrl-\. Openssl then
falls into an infinite loop of repeatedly displaying the password
prompt without responding to user input.
This behavior does *not* seem to occur if:
1. You run openssl directly from the shell rather than from a shell script; or
2. You press Ctrl-\ immediately without first having a password rejected; or
3. You use an openssl built from upstream sources. Hence, this seems to be a
Debian- or Ubuntu-specific bug.
