The only 2 problems I see are:
3rd problem, race condition, the thief and the owner race to the door to lock it to keep the other out... did you really get the valid certificate in the first place... even if you did, if someone steals the key and you're unaware of the theft... There is possibly numerous more, not to mention the most worst, it would increase the anti-competitive nature of the PKI industry while offering little if anything to the end user as they don't have enough knowledge of security practises to know what the hell their doing...
