Repeat: Issues with DOWNTIME, purple status, and sslcert test

I asked this question in about March of last year and didn't get any
replies. Figured I'd give it another shot as it has been a persistent
annoyance since then (though the behavior has changed slightly, which
I've edited below):

- ---
Hunted around on Google and the mailing list archives about this one,
but I'm turning nothing up.

I have some downtime statements listed for a few hosts (names and IP's
changed to protect probably nothing, but hey):

10.11.12.13  host1.umdnj.edu #
"DOWNTIME=ldap,ldaps,sslcert:*:2200:2300:Development/Test Systems Cold
Bacukup"
10.11.12.14     host2.umdnj.edu #
"DOWNTIME=ldap,ldaps,sslcert:*:2200:2300:Development/Test Systems Cold
Bacukup"
0.0.0.0         host3.umdnj.edu #
"DOWNTIME=http,sslcert:*:2200:2300:Development/Test Systems Cold Bacukup"
0.0.0.0         host4.umdnj.edu #
"DOWNTIME=http,sslcert:*:2200:2300:Development/Test Systems Cold Bacukup"

The downtime is picked up fine, and correctly, in the "info" test on the
hosts. What's interesting is what happens when the time rolls around
with the sslcert test (I'll pick Friday night out of the air, but
there's nuance every day):

host1: Green until purple at 2245.
host2: Ditto.
host3: Ditto.
host4: Blue at ~2200, red at 2245.

All four share the same DOWNTIME definition, aside from the tests
involved, so I'm mighty confused. Is there some interplay here that I'm
not aware of (either by what triggers an sslcert test, https/ldaps/etc.,
or by using 0.0.0.0 on some of the hosts, the actual status of the hosts
during the DOWNTIME, etc.) that someone might have some hints for
teasing out?
