Let me just say "ugh".  I've long wondered why we have things set up in
such a way that the whole chain has to be in one file, but it didn't
occur to me that it'd actually end up causing this issue.  In some ways,
I really wonder about this being OpenSSL's fault as much as ours, but I
doubt they'd see it that way. :)

Makes sense to me.  I'm not particular about the names, but isn't this
set of CAs generally considered intermediary?  Eg: 'trusted', '
intermediate', etc?
