I now have wireshark captures showing the exchanges between the working 
instance and the non-working instance respectively; the problem is definitely 
happening after STARTTLS has been issued and during the TLS handshake. 
I'm not high-level enough to be able to make any sense of the negotiation data 
though. The wireshark capture is quite short (22 items in the list) and I don't 
mind making it available if it would be useful to anyone.

I'm pretty certain, but I'll get the customer to double-check.

Cheers!
