On the wiki you wrote:
"session->tlsext_tick_lifetime_hint - we were directly accessing the
lifetime hint of the session."

I have just pushed (along with some associated documentation) some new
ticket API functions, which should cover the above gap:

int SSL_SESSION_has_ticket(const SSL_SESSION *s);
unsigned long SSL_SESSION_get_ticket_lifetime_hint(const SSL_SESSION *s);
void SSL_SESSION_get0_ticket(const SSL_SESSION *s, unsigned char **tick,
                             size_t *len);
