Comment(by nickm):

 Have a look at branch "bug4822_021" in my public repo.

 I considered an approach where we would allow any handshake, but disallow
 any SSL3 ciphers so that the handshake would fail if the ssl3 handshake
 were actually tried.  Problem was, openssl allows tls1 ciphers with the
 ssl3 handshake, so that wouldn't have worked.  (Thanks to asn for testing
 that.)

 This needs review and a changes file.
