Comment(by NEOatNHNG):

 It seems that the problem is hit when using the SSL/TLS session ID
 mechanism to do an abbreviated handshake and reuse the keys from the last
 session.

 I have attached a pcap and a matching debug log. I think the server is the
 one acting strange here. I have contacted the admins of the server to get
 this sorted out. The problem might be that this is not the only server
 behaving that way. So it might be actually desirable to not reuse the keys
 from last session and always use new sessions for compatibility. If so I
 have also attached a patch to disable the SSL cache.

 On the other hand the other pcap from MattTheRat doesn't seem to use an
 SSL handshake at all and therefore can't be related so maybe it's only
 this server after all.
