It would, UNLESS any of the following were true:

1. A newer Entrust cross (intermediate) CA cert existed, and was being
served by the server you were trying to reach, or

2. A newer Entrust cross (intermediate) CA cert existed, and you had
previously visited a server that was serving that newer cert.  In that
case, you would have the newer cert in your cert DB and it would take
precedence over any older cert with the same issuer and subject names.

3. Diginotar's new root was available and trusted in your client and
Diginotar's new root had issued a new "rollover" cert itself that was
newer than the older Entrust cross cert, and either
a) that rollover cert was being served by the server you were visiting, or
b) you already had that rollover cert in your cert DB from a prior visit.
