Yes, those certificates were added with explicit distrust settings.
The patch is in NSS bug 642815:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642815

If you select one of those certificates and click the "Edit Trust"
button, you should see the "Do not trust the authenticity of this
certificate" box checked.  If you click the "View" button, the
dialog should say "Could not verify this certificate for unknown
reasons".
