Now I've seen this on a Win8 Asus X301A laptop, that so far have eluded
being linux-ified (it starts booting the PXE install, then just stops
and skips out and continues with Win8 boot, but that's another
story...).

GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.2.9200) of 2013-03-17 on MARVIN
gnutls-3.0.9-w32-bin.zip (from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/)

What happened here was quite strange.  When I tried entering
gmane.discuss on news.gmane.org, It failed, and I got the following
messages in the minibuffer:
Opening nntp server on news.gmane.org...done
gnutls.c: [0] (Emacs) fatal error: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated. [2 times]
apply: Server closed connection

Then I did
 (setq gnutls-log-level 1)
in the scratch buffer, and tried entering gmane.discuss, and this time
it worked.

So I don't know how reproducible this is.  Here are the Messages buffer
content resulting from entering gmane.discuss:
Opening nntp server on news.gmane.org...
gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) allocating credentials
gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) gnutls callbacks
gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) gnutls_init
gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) got non-default priority string: NORMAL
gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) setting the priority string
news.gmane.org certificate could not be verified.
gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) certificate signer was not found: news.gmane.org
gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) certificate validation failed: news.gmane.org
Opening nntp server on news.gmane.org...done

Seems like this wasn't the culprit at all?  Just a warning?

If I can get something really reproducible, I will try a bisect.
