This is a sanity check in libc to prevent further corruption when the netlink sockets are changed by something else under the rug by some filedescriptor managment error elsewhere.
It is probably libcurl that steps into libc toes but it is hard to tell because I got no backtrace and no coredump stored.

The /var/log/zypper.log may reveal more. If you don't mind, please open a bugreport at https://bugzilla.suse.com. - component zypper or libzypp is fine - and attach the logfile there. That's the easiest was to get the curl maintainers involved as well. Thanks.
