Uhh, you realise how ssl works, right? The certificate has to match the hostname, if multiple hostnames point to the same service, then you have to use the one the certificate is valid for if you want to use ssl.
Obviously in this case google is using mail.google.com and http://www.google.com not the gmail.com or google.com. All sites work like this, check out how microsoft is using invalid certificates here https://wwwtk2test1.microsoft.com/
or check out how verisign are using an invalid certificate here https://www.verisign.net/ or paypal, ebay, etc. This is how the internet works, make sure you understand it before making random uninformed blog posts.
the page is corrupt when showed in Safari
This is because the security certificates are bound with www domains and you are trying to access it without it. All browsers will show you invalid certificates if you try to browse without using the http://www.
I receive the same error page on FF-3 accessing adsense via https://google.com/adsense
https://microsoft.com/ Oh Noes
kbhjb and Keith have explained it why you are getting that invalid certificate issue.

If you find the error message enoying when logging on to gmail through https, just use instead of https://gmail.com
correction:
If you find the error message enoying when logging on to gmail through https, just use https://mail.google.com instead of https://gmail.com
Sry moutosh that doesn’t work:
https://mail.google.com redirects to
https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?
So the certificate continutes not to match during the vital login phase.
