Yes, because NS doesn't cache the session id over restarts, so it cannot
resume the session. Here is doesn't help that Apache has it still cached, of
course. That's all a correct behavior up to this point.

Wait! That's still not clear enough, sorry. Do you mean that after 3) Apache
asks for the client cert on _every_ request? I think no, so what makes you
actually think that your sessions are no longer cached after 3)? Or in other
words: After you restarted Apache how did you discovered that your sessions
are now _again_ cached? Usually (I assume you've an enabled session cache:
SSLSessionCache!) restarting Apache should make no real difference according
to cached sessions.
