Make the server end be "openssl s_server -accept 443 -www ...", see
what that tells you.

As far as I understand, the failing test covers _only_ this case:

there is outgoing data in a buffer
twisted is told to use starttls
it switches to TLS immediately, including the data in the buffer

For non-STARTTLS protocols, TLS is used from the very beginning, so
there really can't be anything in the buffer.
