Additionla input:
I had a look at apps/ca.c of openssl and changed the code to additionally
print out the subject string.
"
...
Subject does not start with '/'.
Email=clemens, CN=clemens, Ou=htka, O=helb, C=CH
...
"

As we can see this string in fact does not have a leading /! 
Reading the code correctly leads to the assumption, taht the format should
be:
/Email=clemens/CN=clemens/Ou=htka/O=helb/C=CH
Who provides the openssl-module with this wrong formatted string?

I would really appreciate any help as I am stuck here :-(
