I don't think the error you saw and this bug are the same thing. 

Can you locate the site again? 

The bug is just saying that midori doesn't verify the cert, it just
uses the encryption there and figures all is well. The error you got
sounds like some broken site thats trying to tell you something about
"strong encryption", and possibly broken user-agent handling WRT
midori.
