Let me just get some clarification on that before I go jumping to
conclusions.

so you're saying (for instance)

site http://mydomain/ has a certificate configured, but does not require SSL
virt dir http://mydomain/virdir/ inherits the settings of the domain, but
additionally requires SSL

in that scenario, you should get an error if you hit anything below the
virtual directory with non-SSL, but the rest of the site should display
without error. is that what you're saying?
