I've tried this on the latest 0.9.7-stable version and it fails with a base64 decoding error.
The cause is that the base64 BIO is rather broken as I discovered when I attempted to run some exhaustive non-blocking I/O tests on it a while ago. Since the changes were quite extensive, it could break other things like PEM if I got it wrong, it only seemed to affect non blocking I/O and no one else appeared to have noticed I didn't commit the fixes to the stable tree. However now that it does affect blocking I/O and someone has noticed :-) I've got a good reason to fix the stable version too. If you don't want to wait until the next snapshot you can just copy bio_b64.c from the 0.9.8-dev version to 0.9.7b.
