The main one is a BAD_RECORD_MAC alert if decryption fails, padding is wrong, the MACs don't match. The record version could be wrong; the record could be greater than 2^14 bytes. None of these things should happen under normal circumstances, so you have to assume an attack is underway. >>> If the TLS server finds a TLS session with the proposed session ID >>> in his cache, it should then use the results from the previous >>> determination of the ClientHello parameters whether it is OK to >>> attempt to resume the cached session, or whether it is advised >>> to perform a full SSL handshake, because of a significant mismatch >>> of the newly determine session characteristics from those >>> of the cachend session identified by the client-proposed Session ID. >> RFC 4366 states: >> >> - If, on the other hand, the older session is resumed, then the >> server MUST ignore the extensions and send a server hello >> containing none of the extension types.

Aside from what I quoted, I don't believe so. The server can decide not to resume a session for whatever reason it wants. In fact there is no requirement to support session caching at all. What the text means is that IF the server agrees to resume the session, the resumed session will have the same features as the original according to the extensions in the original handshake, regardless of the extensions in the ClientHello for the resumed session.
