<ahem> I see you've found the deliberate mistake.
I was working off an old version of the pkcs#12 pages, you're right ca-fix
is no longer supported.  I spent a while working out how to tweak my CA
certificate to fix this one, but gave up and decided it was easier to make a
new CA cert.  I suspect that you can take the pem, make it into a vanilla
RSA key and wrap it up with new extensions into a new x509, but OpenSSL
isn't the most logically designed package, and it screaming for some proper
docs.  Currently everyone seems to learn by osmosis.

Also, the possible bug I mentioned earlier was not true -  it was me
discovering the difference between critical extensions and those that
aren't.

I apologise for the random comments before.

Regards,

Luke
