Browsing for the last error message gives me two results that shows that
people are having similar problems with Debian Squeeze (and Tails is
based on Debian Squeeze):
https://github.com/Bitmessage/PyBitmessage/issues/47
http://cryptojunky.com/blog/2013/03/09/setting-up-and-using-bitmessage-an-encrypted-communications-platform-based-on-bitcoin/
So maybe bitmessage is not compatible with the version of OpenSSL in
Debian Squeeze:

I'm really not sure that has to do with compilation, and anyway we are
not compiling OpenSSL for Tails but merely using the Debian package
which is already compiled.
Furthermore, we are very short on human resources within Tails so we
won't have time to help you further on this issue.
