There's no prohibition against issuing certificates for names on the Public Suffix List.

BR 3.2.2.6 prohibits issuing a wildcard certificate for an entire public suffix unless the "Applicant proves its rightful control of the entire Domain Namespace" (without specifying how this should be done - arguably, publishing a DNS record would qualify) but also says that CAs should use the "ICANN DOMAINS" section of the PSL only, not the "PRIVATE DOMAINS" section, so domains for dynamic DNS providers and the like wouldn't be included.
