I did find a reference to this being a bug fix in 10.7.4

Lots of companies are deprecating certificate support for certificates that
are less than 2048bit.  I wonder if Apple has just handled this really
bad.(IE, 1024 and less, unlike the description below)

*libsecurity*

Available for: Mac OS X 10.6.8, Mac OS X Server 10.6.8, OS X Lion v10.7 to
v10.7.3, OS X Lion Server v10.7 to v10.7.3

Impact: Support for X.509 certificates with insecure-length RSA keys may
expose users to spoofing and information disclosure

Description: Certificates signed using RSA keys with insecure key lengths
were accepted by libsecurity. This issue is addressed by rejecting
certificates containing RSA keys less than 1024 bits.
