The root cert is self signed with SHA-512, if it uses SHA-512 also for EE 
certificates, you're likely hitting MZBZ#1155922 interoperability issue caused 
by change introduced by MS14-066 in Windows.

You don't see this problem with Nginx or Apache because they send the 
certificate even if the extensions advertised by client don't match the 
certificate the server has (they let the client decide if it will trust the 
cert or not), OTOH, IIS decides for the client that it won't be able to handle 
certificate, so it doesn't send any and aborts connection without telling 
client why (thus the incomprehensible error message).
