That's a good question (about the el5 packages). I just checked and all of the packages and yum repositories are CentOS 5-based, despite it being CentOS 6. This is a dedicated server, so I am checking with the provider.
I am going to try to sort out that discrepancy before upgrading to openssl 1.x. As soon as I can, I will let you know whether that solves the problem.
In the meantime, does it make sense that MySQL 5.6.12 does not exhibit the problem versus Percona server?
