IMHO, this severely limits the new ssl module's utility, and discourages good security practices. Please file a bug report. A bug report with a patch and tests would be even better :-). Assign it to me.
I filed one, but the bug tracker doesn't seem to offer a way to assign it to you. I'll add you to the nosy list.

I'm pretty swamped right now, so I don't think I can learn the code well enough to make a patch in the few weeks before python 2.6 is released. (How nice it would be if the debut of this very useful module was free of this problem!) If I find some unexpected free time, I'll take a crack at it.
