Firefox does not load intermediate CA certs from the network.  It - and pretty much all other browsers, as far as I know - will sometimes magically cache intermediary certificates.  So if you visit the site in a browser that happens to have had the right intermediate CA certificate cached (probably because you visited another StartSSL free site, in twistedmatrix.com's case) then you will get no warning.  This is why most people don't actually see a warning on the site :-).

But we'll have this problem fixed For Real soon!
