Seems google noted that using OCSP and not rejecting certificates on
connection failure doesn't make much sense:
http://www.imperialviolet.org/2012/02/05/crlsets.html

So they decided that they'll probably disable OCSP altogether. Not sure
what I should think of it (seriously, they're probably right to disable
something that is broken anyway).
