if github.io uses "*.github.io" CN (common name) based SSL-cert, for <user> in "<user>.github.io" sub-domain, then that "CN:*.github.io" is indeed wrong for the exact "CN:<user>.github.io". thats sad, but i undersatnd its not possible to create separate ssl-cert for each subdomain. its HTTPS encrypted, but with "*" certificate, so the benefit of really trusting a HTTPS-based sub-domain, is gone :(
