If you observe the mysql.sock after starting mariadb, then start and stop webjail, is the mysql.sock(et) still there?
The reason I ask is I would expect mysql to complain bitterly about the socket having gone away but as you state it continues to run. Odd.
Is there anything in the mysql error log? ('normally' located in the mysql data directory)

It's almost like the scenario of "create a file in a directory, then mount that directory, file has 'gone'". This is counter-intuitive to nullfs.
Bug?
