>It looks to me that Xavier's case and the case I encountered are different.

If you say, that your host certificate for uct2-xrootd.mwt2.org actually does _not_ have "fax.mwt2.org" as an alternative name in it, then yes, our situations are different - in your case, the error is justified, in my opinion.  
It could be, that client tools do a name resolution of the alias and a subsequent reverse lookup of the IP to verify whether _that_ name is mentioned as the subject name in the certificate, possibly? That's the only way how an DNS alias could still work with these grid security regulations.
