I wouldn't call that expected behavior, since

a) the certificate used on twistedmatrix.com contains (as it should) intermediate CA certs also (see attachments)

b) Firefox (but not Chrome) is usually able to dynamically retrieve intermediate CA certs to fill in gaps in the certificate chain

Mmmh.

Probably you are on a locked down network where a MITM TLS proxy kicks which rewrites the cert.

If you care, could you open the page in your browser, double click the small "lock icon" left to the "https://" in the address bar and send a screenshot of the dialog shown (as the one attached)?
