Hi,
Given users' tendency to click-through security warnings, would it not perhaps be better for that box to be UNchecked by default?

No. If its a legitimate selfsign cert, its best to store it - then the user won't be bothered but a real attack (changed cert again) would trigger the warning again (not that it would help this user).

If its an attack cert, the damage (stolen password etc.) often happens with the first click anyway, so there is not much to lose after that. And beside that, the user would click away the warning next time anyway...
