So I took a chance and (after saving copies) deleted `/shared/ssl/forum.*` and `/shared/ssl/ssl*` and rebuilt again, and that seems to have resolved it.

So it looks like it is picking up `/shared/ssl/ssl.crt` if an old one of them is lying around, rather than using the ones it is meant to be using.
