What do you mean by doesn't work?

I'm guessing you mean it still has the certificate error, and that  
will happen. SSL must be negotiated before any HTTP Redirect can be  
sent.

My suggestion is to keep a cert for both domains until the transition  
is complete. That will be the easiest (though not necessarily the  
cheapest).
