This is incorrect.

apache can't read the headers since the traffic is encrypted. If it can't
read headers, it does not know which vhost to use and thus can not serve up
the correct files

If you have more than one ssl vhost, you will have to use two IP's. You can
use one SSL vhost with many non SSL vhosts on the same IP with no issues.
