Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

It begs the question of why the tests succeed with previous OpenSSL versions.
The only possibly relevant entry I could find in the OpenSSL changelog (but I'm not an expert) is the following:

  *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
     this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
     string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
     by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
