[Bug 446392] New: SSL error: Key usage violation

I'm about to go on holiday so won't be able to look into this myself for 
a week or so; Fedora 9 ships with GnuTLS 2.0.4, but I can reproduce this 
with the slightly stale git checkout I had lying around, so I'd suspect 
this is a GnuTLS cert validation bug?

$ ./bin/gnutls-cli svn.eionet.europa.eu

*** Fatal error: Key usage violation in certificate has been detected.

selfsigned certificate generate error message: SSL error: Key usage violation in
certificate has been detected.

Additional info:
The certificate for svn.eionet.europa.eu has the X509v3 Key Usage set to: Key
Encipherment, which is normal for SSL servers.

The svn.eionet.europa.eu has been in use for years, about two years with the
current certificate, and no such issue has arisen before.

In case you need to take a look. The certificate is signed with this CA:
