One reason might be because of an escape character conflict For ipmitool, one sequence for exiting a SOL session is <return><tilde><period>. Turns out, SSH uses the same sequence, so if you're using ipmitool over SSH (such as via a jump host), you'll disconnect SSH instead of ending the SOL session. (BTW, you can change the "EscapeChar" ssh config item to something else, or you can send <Return><tilde><n><o><n><e> to disable it for a session.)
