In order to submit a patch, I am trying to write an automated tests for this.
Were you able to reproduce this issue in a controlled environment.

I am still not fully understanding why I get this behaviour with
sharepoint.com sites.

I am thinking at having a rigged TLS server which will keep the socket
open but will not
respond to the shutdown request.... but I still don't know how :)
