FYI: This technique does not appear to work with Chrome 41.0.2272.101m.

ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.AddExcludedArgument("ignore-certificate-errors");
capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.Chrome();
capabilities.SetCapability(ChromeOptions.Capability, chromeOptions);

new RemoteWebDriver(hubUri, capabilities, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(180))

Generates

This appears to work:

ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.AddArgument("test-type");
capabilities = (DesiredCapabilities)chromeOptions.ToCapabilities();

new RemoteWebDriver(hubUri, capabilities, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(180));
