So, I'm not sure about that one. Apparently s_client ignores the error and completes the connection because it's intended to be used for debugging.

> Currently the verify operation continues after errors so all the problems with a certificate chain can be seen. As a side effect the connection will never fail due to a server certificate verify failure.

The s_client connection continues but should still report a verify error. On Linux:
