Ronald Oussoren added the comment:

There is no need to unconditionally skip the test. The cacert.org root 
certificate is not present on most systems, I just happened to have imported it 
into my keychain.

I've removed the cacert root from my keychain and test_ssl now passed without a 
patch. 

I agree that is it not worthwhile to pursue this further and will therefore 
close this issue as "wont fix".
