This is just a guess, but if you really need ping functionality from within your jail, then you can set the following variable:

security.jail.allow_raw_sockets

using sysctl to 1 (should default to 0). Bear in mind though that this could introduce potential security issues (from my understanding it's something like someone being able to monitor traffic over the physical NIC (even if that traffic originates from outside the jail)). Your call if it's that important or not.
