Some experimentation:

> \pset null '((null))'

> select jsonb_set('{"foo":1}'::jsonb,'{bar}','null'::jsonb,true);
┌─────────────────────────┐
│ jsonb_set │
├─────────────────────────┤
│ {"bar": null, "foo": 1} │
└─────────────────────────┘

> select jsonb_set('{"foo":1}'::jsonb,'{bar}',to_jsonb(null::text),true);
┌───────────┐
│ jsonb_set │
├───────────┤
│ ((null)) │
└───────────┘

That's a bit weird already. Also:

> select null::jsonb;
┌──────────┐
│ jsonb │
├──────────┤
│ ((null)) │
└──────────┘

> select 'null'::jsonb;
┌───────┐
│ jsonb │
├───────┤
│ null │
└───────┘

> select to_jsonb(null::int);
┌──────────┐
│ to_jsonb │
├──────────┤
│ ((null)) │
└──────────┘

> select to_jsonb('null'::text);
┌──────────┐
│ to_jsonb │
├──────────┤
│ "null" │
└──────────┘

I'm sharing Thomas's confusion…
