There is nothing broken - the server cert lists "www.openssh.com" in the
Subject Alternate Names (SANs), along with a dozen others.

The DN contains "www.openbsd.org" as the CN, but a) there can be only
one *there*, b) the current standards suggest that browsers(!) should
ignore the DN in favor of the SANs altogether, and c) before that, they
were supposed to accept *both* for quite a while.
