The two ticket systems is indeed annoying and I don't know what to do
about that (I did not start this thread) other than removing one of
them.

The point is that if OpenSSL is providing a verification callback which
can be used to provide a custom verification of the cert chain, then it
should provide the necessary handles and the thing still missing from
what Richard proposed is a way to point to the failing certificate in
the chain. We can set the error, but not at which depth in the chain the
error occurred.
This in itself is not limited to our use-case but is a general API
request.
