Currently, having a certificate that is not signed by an authority known to the browser is a warning. The user can decide to "add a security exception" and still establish communication.

If MD5 is used in the cert chain, and MD5 is considered insecure, then I believe the same situation obtains - i.e. the target certificate should be considered unsigned. So I believe the user should still be able to "add a security exception".

In sum, having an insecure signature and having an unrecognized signer should be handled in the same way.
