I wouldn't call it a "known issue with Mozilla based products".
It's a requirement of the SSL/TLS specifications.
It's an issue with servers that are not configured to conform to those
specifications.

That's what PSM shows for roots, Eddy.  I imagine you're expecting it
to say something like "Email Certificate Authority" and "Object Signing
Certificate Authority".  I agree it should.  But it's a PSM UI issue,
I believe.
