There are a number of different (and most likely unrelated) issues 
conflated in this bug report.

The "key usage violation" error can be caused by a server certificate 
offering an invalid certificate, see this thread:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/2789

I'm not sure why this particular issue is not seen with OpenSSL; either 
OpenSSL happens to choose a different ciphersuite, or it does not 
enforce the key usage rules as strictly.  Regardless, GnuTLS is behaving 
correctly in rejecting the certificate in the cited case.
