In the internet I found (but lost again) a discussion about the same certificate using a different program on a different operating system. There somebody stated that the certificate is in fact neither self-signed nor directly issued by a trusted cerfification authority but signed by google's intermediate certification authority, instead. AFAIK this is generally counted as secure by software, though.
