813	Double encoding of utf-8 strings  inside x509 certificates	Spindel@…		"When an x509 certificate contains utf-8 data in their fields, the data is double-encoded.

This is visible in the logs, where it turns out like this:

/C=SE/ST=\x5CxC3\x5Cx96sterg\x5CxC3\x5CxB6tland/L=Link\x5CxC3\x5CxB6ping/

And when you pass it into environments to downstream applications, it's the same.

This causes more than a little problems, as we expect the un-escaped UTF-8 strings downstream, (or at most having to do a single ""unfuck encoding"" step).
