The new certificate does not offer Forward Secrecy https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=liberty.lavab...

Does this not mean that the NSA could patiently log all the traffic going in and out of the site over the next few days, then get a court order for this new SSL private key, then decrypt the traffic they collected?

I may have misunderstood, but doesn't that make this something of a trojan horse? Many users will login and try to download all their email, and for everyone who does, when the NSA (very likely) get a court order for the new SSL key, they'll have that large amount of private email everyone tried to copy from the site?
