Because HTTPS is not plain old HTTP.

When you send HTTP back in response to a HTTPS tunnel open request
browsers start to display their weirdness.

You will find some browsers display the error, some do not. Some will
display the raw HTML that came back but ignore any included images/CSS
etc.

This is the first I've heard of partial displays, but its not entirely
surprising.
