Could it be then that libneon selected a wrong certificate from the
pkcs12 file? Does it use gnutls_certificate_set_x509_simple_pkcs12_file()?

I quick glimpsed gnutls_certificate_set_x509_simple_pkcs12_file() and
looks very simple thus might add the first certificate no matter if it
corresponds to the key. In that case it is a gnutls bug and will be
fixed. (workaround: use a single certificate in the pkcs12 file).
