Any other conditions? I've set that situation up but still get
a pass on an unpatched system.

Any restrictions on the chain sent by the server? On the CAs

The "Signing cert" is an intermediate, signed by the anchor
(selfsigned). The empty names seen by set_issuer_name() were
an X509_print_ex of X509_get_subject_name(cert).
