The latter. You can't expect all certificate validation software
to be punycode-aware. The idea of internationalized domain names
is that the "enabled" software presents an internationalized user
interface, but then converts to punycode so that all the backends
can be used unmodified. Or at least that's my interpretation. The
certificate has to work if somebody uses the punycode directly.

cheers,
