Thanks a lot for the useful tip! It does seem to be a plausible cause.
I searched
Phabricator with the OCSP hint and was able to find the following task which
describes essentially the same issue with the English wikipedia beta instance.

Yeah. I too believe Let's encypt certificates would be available on Android
devices running Android 8+ (Android 8+ is a pre-requisite for the issue
to surface). So, inexistence of the Let's encrypt certificates shouldn't be
an issue. As a supporting factor, I don't observe the issue described in
my previous mail in my device which runs Android 5.1.1 (yeah, it's a bit old).
Given the fact that the Let's encrypt certificate is available in a device as
old as mine, I think it's safe to assume that the certificates would be
available in devices running Android 8+ too :-)

Thanks for your help,
Sivaraam
