So it looks like th fallback prevention part looks like it should -
the inappropriate fallback is prevented. The question now is why
fallback happens at all, that is - why the client sends a FIN. It
might be some specific cipher which causes the problem - you may
try switching ssl_prefer_server_ciphers to off (the default) to
see if it helps, and/or playing with ciphers supported (again,
default will be a good starting point).
