I see, and reading a bit of tls.el it makes sense. It does all this
crazy regexp searching... This is a hack in my book too, albeit one

Here is a patch that should be equivalent to the defadvice I'm using.
As I said, it works for me. Also I didn't have a VC copy of emacs so I
used  `diff-buffer-with-file'

diff -u -L /usr/local/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/net/tls.el.gz -L
\#\<buffer\ tls.el.gz\> /tmp/jka-com1909LVh
/tmp/buffer-content-1909lpt
