Thanks for reporting this, I've solved it with patch:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnutls.git;a=commitdiff;h=08fe3bfac8e12e6154dce6a834cdf838eeac3b05

Your problem is quite similar to <http://bugs.debian.org/429183>.

However, your problem seems different from the original report in this
bug: that problem (if it was a real problem, the original reporter
hasn't replied and we can't reproduce it) appears to be in the library
and not in gnutls-cli.
