Thank you! That did the trick. The resultant PKCS #12 file contains the 
certBag type containing OCTET STRINGS identified as x509Certificate, 
containing the binary certificates. A partial analyzed example from 
"asn1js" is included for doubters.

Importing this PKCS #12 file into Microsoft CryptoAPI, Mozilla NSS, and 
Apple Mac OS X Keychain succeeded in all cases. (Note that the -macalg 
was not changed; it used the default of SHA-1.)

Best regards,

Sean
