Similar errors show up with:

It seems that JCE libraries (Sun, IBM, and Bouncy Castle) all try to validate 
the 
signature of the *.myopenid.com certificate using the certificate issued by 
Valicert, rather than the one issued by Equifax.

Browsers seem to perform the validation against the Equifax certificate (the 
Valicert one doesn't show up).

Maybe time to make the SSL trust validation configurable? See also:
