Here is another situation where konqueror successfully indicates a

point konqueror at: https://demo.cmrg.net/ -- you'll see a successful
connection, though that server only offers DHE over a
trivially-crackable 16-bit group.

I suspect that this problem is fairly wide-ranging.   Apple’s Safari also permits the link.   Google Chrome doesn’t 
permit the link though, it just crashes :)
