What it's doing in this part is trying to start the server process in a special testing mode, starting with large values for the settings that impact shared memory, then stepping down the sizes until that works. That's why there are so many of these. But it looks like none of them actually work.
Have you tried running the initdb with strace or truss? That might give you a clue as to exactly what system call is failing. Your jail isn't allowing something fundamental here, but it's hard to guess what.
