Let's call this CA "selfCA".

You may have misinterpreted what that bug report says. The reporter
placed his selfCA into the browser. The reporter did not use a CA
certificate from a well-known CA root in his signing chain -- it is not
possible to do that because you do not have the private key from that
well-known root CA certificate.

You should use selfCA as root CA of your signing chain and you have to
place that selfCA in the browser.

It is not possible to bump traffic without importing your self-signed
root CA into all browsers. If it were possible, SSL would have been useless.
