Recent OpenSSL update that breaks cloudfront and rubygems.org?

The recent update to OpenSSL in Precise has rendered cloudfront.com
unusable (as well as several other hosts which people have noted
throughout other various bugs -- the one I discovered was
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/986147). Can we
please get a fix since this breaks downloading from RubyGems.org on
Precise and could potentially break quite a few development machines.
Doing -tls1 or -ssl3 or enforcing a specific cipher allows it to work
but this is a big problem considering it breaks many Python and Ruby
applications like bundler, net/https, rubygems, and eventmachine
(unless you work around it) and libraries and applications that rely
on them.
