Tilt, I got it! Thanks again, Eric, and Aparna. To try your suggestions I dived more into the details of Apache config specials on Debian (http://www.control-escape.com/web/configuring-apache2-debian.html) and finally found that there was indeed another "NameVirtualHost *:80" in `/etc/apache2/ports.conf`. So the solution was simply to remove my NameVirtualHost directive from `default`.
