Comment(by nickm):

 Adam Langley has investigated and encouraged the OpenSSL team to do so as
 well: It appears that the code for using AEAD CBC ciphers with TLS is
 broken in OpenSSL 1.0.1d.  Right now, the stitched aesni-cbc-hmac-sha1
 cipher is the only such cipher.

 Since this is a pretty bad problem (and will break all commonly used AES
 ciphers when used with AESNI), I'd hope that a fix will come out soon.  To
 detect this at runtime, we'll have to try doing a TLS connection with
 ourselves: testing the cipher implementation itself won't work.
