Comment(by acruise):

 I don't know whether anything has *changed* as such, but
 omega.contacts.msn.com is using a three-element certificate chain, in
 which the L1 is a globally trusted CA (CyberTrust), the L2 is Microsoft's
 own CA certificate, and the L3 (end entity cert) uses a wildcard CN.
 There are an awful lot of programs and libraries that don't support third-
 (and bigger) certificate chains properly, and a lot that don't support
 wildcards properly, so I don't think this really deserves to be a cantfix.

 If you do openssl -connect omega.contacts.msn.com:443 -showcerts you'll
 see all three certificates in the chain.
