Error, Unknown CA, Creating attributes from [non existent] server certificate

Hi,

We're using FreeRadius (3.2.0) and successfully authenticating clients over
EAP-TTLS / Radsec.
We had one failed authentication yesterday that I am struggling to make
sense of.
Verbose logging is enabled so I can see all the details.

I can see the usual "Creating attributes from server certificate" in the
authenticate section,
which then goes on to mention a server certificate (TLS-Cert-Common-Name) that
I've never heard of, and definitely isn't installed on our FreeRadius
server.

The server then sends the following back to the client:
"send TLS 1.2 Alert, fatal unknown_ca"

I've looked at the C source code but I'm unable to see where this could
have gotten mixed up, any advice appreciated.
This has only happened once out of thousands of successful authentications.
