Ok, so here are the troubleshooting steps I've taken.
*  Stop the proxy services
*  Moved /var/www/html/pub/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT to
RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT.backup
*  Re-ran configure-proxy.sh using the following answers file (names
changed to protect the innocent):

VERSION="1.6"
RHN_PARENT="spacewalk02.company.com"
TRACEBACK_EMAIL="admins at company.com"
USE_SSL="Y"
CA_CHAIN="/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT"
HTTP_PROXY=
SSL_ORG="Some obscure gaming company"
SSL_ORGUNIT="spacewalkproxy01.dc.company.com"
SSL_COMMON="spacewalkproxy01.dc.company.com"
SSL_CITY="Austin"
SSL_STATE="Texas"
SSL_COUNTRY="US"
SSL_EMAIL="admins at company.com"
INSTALL_MONITORING="n"
POPULATE_CONFIG_CHANNEL="n"

A brand-spanking new cert was created in /var/www/html/pub, but the OU
and CN in the certificate are for RHN_PARENT, or
spacewalk02.company.com which is the main app server.  Should this be
"spacewalkproxy01.dc.company.com" instead?  My theory is that the ssl
cert may be failing because it has the wrong name in it...
