This seems like an internal GnuTLS bug, I think?  Could you report it to
gnutls-devel <at> gnu.org?

That sounds like a bug on our part.  Do you know whether there's any way
to reproduce this bug without having access to a server that has the
particular problems you've encountered?  For instance, a setting that
makes gnutls try the wrong ciphers or something.  Then I could try to
reproduce and chase down the infloop bug on the Emacs side.
