Meanwhile, I've taken the time to look under the hood, since the package
appeared to be the same, but actually it is built differently based on
conditionals that depend on the distribution version. D'oh!
%if (0%{?fedora} <= 28)
--enable-ssl3-support \
%else
--enable-tls13-support \
%endif
The issue is reproducible with:
gnutls-cli --disable-sni imap.gmail.com:993
