You need to enable wrap mode:

EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_flags(&ctx, EVP_CIPHER_CTX_FLAG_WRAP_ALLOW);

The EVP encrypt routines set an expectation about how long the output
might be for a given input:

"EVP_EncryptUpdate() encrypts B<inl> bytes from the buffer B<in> and
writes the encrypted version to B<out>. This function can be called
multiple times to encrypt successive blocks of data. The amount
of data written depends on the block alignment of the encrypted data:
as a result the amount of data written may be anything from zero bytes
to (inl + cipher_block_size - 1) so B<out> should contain sufficient
room."

The wrap modes do not obey this rule and may return more data, so you
have to explicitly enable the mode to say that you are prepared for the
output.
