It will make GnuTLS stand out among TLS libraries to not be able to verify hostnames in certificates if they have a trailing dot. Hostnames in URLs are known to sometimes have trailing dots and they do make a difference to both HTTP servers and name resolvers.

But since SNI was defined to not have trailing dots, there is always some breakage involved.
