Can confirm that this was a real issue. I saw the same errors in my launcher since Monday, but it took time to diagnose. No further information was logged in the Windows System event log. Wireshark showed that authserver.mojang.com would respond with notify_close after receiving a list of cipher suites.
Edit: My thanks to whoever rolled back this change. Phew!
