I did not discover the issue. I just wished to have a rapid and definitive way to test the patch(es).

Am I off base, or should I be surprised that you were able to get the mentioned cert issued in the first place this recently (yesterday)? It seems unexpected that certificates are being actively issued and logged coming from a to-be-forcibly-distrusted part of the hierarchy.

The bugzilla issues mentioned elsewhere suggest at least a mostly orderly removal of trust with issuance stopped several months ago. Your new cert was issued by “CN=EM DV TLS CA - G3B,O=eMudhra BV,C=NL”, which presumably chains to the G3 root, and the bugzilla issue seems to say that G3 was going to be dropped from the root lists some time ago but that maybe it would be cross-signed by something still trusted. So I assume that something else is going on.

Was that cert issued via normal means (e.g. ACME)?

I think that the Go project is lucky to have you. Thank you for what you do!
