[Telepathy] MSN using XMPP-- SSL warnings

Am I the only one getting certificate warning on MSN using XMPP?

------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------
This connection is untrusted. Would you like to continue anyway?
The identity provided by the chat server cannot be verified.

The hostname verified by the certificate doesn't match the server name.

Expected hostname: messenger.live.com
Certificate hostname: *.gateway.messenger.live.com

------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------
Cert details:
*.gateway.messenger.live.com
Identity: *.gateway.messenger.live.com
Verified by: MSIT Machine Auth CA 2
Expires: 20-11-2014
------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------
(I can attach the full CRT if required)

The only place the signer is mentioned is at
https://corp.sts.microsoft.com/Onboard/CertRenewal.html
but the problem seems to be the hostname mismatch and not the
certificate itself.

Any ideas?
