do you really have one vhost on both ports (80 and 443)?
Aren't they really two virtual hosts, one without ssl, one with it?

configure UseCanonicalName setting, it affects into what is %V resolved.

I have it turned on (which means, I don't see which hostname was requested,
bad bad mod_log_config!).

I only use one access log for all vhosts, and one for default vhost with
different settings (UseCanonicalName off so it logs requested hostname too).

Don't you se dynamic virtual hosts by any chance?
