Did you use -CAfile as in my original posting when testing?
Doesn't -CAfile set exclusively all trusted CA certs? So the pre-installed CA
certs should not be used as trust anchors in this case.

Frankly this cert verification stuff seems really odd to me and the exact
behaviour seems to be largely unknown.
