I just did ssl->references++; and also the same on the attached BIO's before SSL_set_fd. This works perfectly and I'm able to take over the SSL connection even after the original server "destroys" their socket.

I would not also increment the reference counts on the BIOs except for any that are explicitly freed by the other thread.  You be introducing a memory and file descriptor leak.
