If you're fixing that then maybe standardising the errors makes sense too.
My fingerprinter sees the following:

For an empty name:

SNIEmptyName: *(301)alert:DecodeError:fatal|
SNIEmptyName: *(301)alert:HandshakeFailure:fatal|
SNIEmptyName: *(301)alert:IllegalParameter:fatal|
SNIEmptyName: *(303)alert:UnexpectedMesage:fatal|
SNIEmptyName: error:Unexpected EOF receiving record header - server closed
connection|

For a long name (x repeated 500 times):

SNILongName: *(301)alert:HandshakeFailure:fatal|
SNILongName: *(301)alert:IllegalParameter:fatal|
SNILongName: *(301)alert:UnrecognizedName:fatal|
SNILongName: *(303)alert:UnexpectedMesage:fatal|
SNILongName: error:Unexpected EOF receiving record header - server closed
connection|
