Thanks, it turns out to be an existing bug but it just happens
to have worked.

---8<---
The paes_s390 module didn't declare the correct aliases for the
algorithms that it registered.  Instead it declared an alias for
the non-existent paes algorithm.

The Crypto API will eventually try to load the paes algorithm, to
construct the cbc(paes) instance.  But because the module does not
actually contain a "paes" algorithm, this will fail.

Previously this failure was hidden and the the cbc(paes) lookup will
be retried.  This was fixed recently, thus exposing the buggy alias
in paes_s390.

Replace the bogus paes alias with aliases for the actual algorithms.

I can confirm that this solves the problem.
Thanks for identifying this!
