Comment (by Roland Haas):

Ok, I am leaning towards chalking this up to your institution trying to hard to protect you or github refusing to talk to a proxy. The connection refused error is definitely different from what an incompatible OpenSSL library produces (that one says "SSL handshake failed: SSL error: tlsv1 alert protocol version"). I am closing this for good.
