So in order to solve the riddle myself, the problem was really well
hidden and not due to a the configuration I posted above.

The problem was that I had mod_deflate globally enabled for the https
host (being not only a reverse proxy but also a "regular" webserver as
well), resulting in mod_deflate obviously having some precedence over
mod_proxy_html and that again resulting in mod_proxy_html not converting
anything.

Disabling mod_deflate globally and enabling it only where I really
needed it, solved the problem.

However, this looks like a mod_proxy_html <=> mod_deflate interaction
problem.
