This also happens to me.  Try surfing to an even more high-profile site, like
Yahoo mail:

https://mail.yahoo.com

It exhibits exactly the same behavior.  It should bring up a dialog indicating
that the site's certificate authority is unknown, but instead it hangs the browser.

Additionally, if I go into the Security preferences and click on any of the cert
management buttons, the browser hangs in the same way.

I do not get this problem. Using 1.0 PR, this problem does not happen to me.
