Sorry, forgot to mention it at the time.

To explain the situation again, properly:

I have a real domain name, cpanel's auto-ssl renewal system was
using let's encrypt for the certificates, I stripped my domain name out
of my posting.  I don't know how the hosting service actually handles
it, there's no configuration files I can actually see, I only get to
see the cpanel interface.  The site works (has for many years), the
certificates work (has for many years), they get renewed.

Recently my hosting service either changed to using let's encrypt - or
changed how they interact with them.

I was wondering if anyone had seen similar bogus error messages that
something might have been wrong, or maybe not, but nothing is wrong
afterwards.  Patrick, also using let's encrypt, said he hadn't.  So I'm
assuming it's some peculiarity with how my hosting service is doing
things.  Rather than let's encrypt, itself.
