The OpenSSL FIPS Object Module 2.0 (validation certificate #1747 and
#2398) preceded those KDF tests, and we're not allowed to add that type
of functionality to existing validations (a prohibition that extends
even to some vulnerability fixes). We'll address those and other new
requirements (I.G. 9.10, FIPS 186-4, SP800-131A, Lucky 13,
CVE-2014-0076, etc.) if and when we're in a position to tackle a new
open source based validation to succeed #1747.

In the meantime you'll need to roll your own code for your proprietary
OpenSSL based "private label" validation.
