Comment(by MarkDoliner):

 I still think it's a good idea, yes, but it's not vital.  Maybe something
 like, "A certificate in the certificate chain for example.com was signed
 with either MD2 or MD5, which are considered to be insecure.  Please ask
 your server administrator to purchase a more secure certificate."?

 We don't require SSL for XMPP connections by default, do we?  Maybe if
 "Require SSL/TLS" is unchecked then we should connect with
 GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_RSA_MD2 and GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_RSA_MD5?
