Signature verification - expired certificate - wrong reason

[kapetr]

If signing certificate is expired, verification of signature fails - that is OK.

But TB reports wrong reason:
"Signature not valid.
The signing certificate is issued by CA, which you do not trust for this type of certificate."

That's not true. And no word about expiration.

When I change system time back and run TB again, verification is successful.
Remark: CA certificate is ok and valid until 2020.
