Actually, I had this issue on a site before. The Google ad code won't be 
HTTPS, but you can still enable HTTPS for everything else, you just 
won't get the beautiful colours in the browser that say everything's 
perfect. Admittedly that somewhat defeats the purpose, but just FYI it's 
totally possible to simply ignore Google and do it yourself anyway :)

Also, FWIW most resources that are available in both SSL and non-SSL can 
be linked to relative to the current protocol, e.g., 
//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTPS will show up as "https://"; for SSL users 
and "http://"; for non-SSL.

Just some thoughts :) you may want to forward that on to your support 
center.
