Sorry, no time to respond in detail for a day or two, this'll have to
do.

If you have your system misconfigured so that security credentials are
unavailable, that is a security issue, not a configuration issue.

A principal tenant of security is: "if something's broke, stop.  NEVER
silently downgrade."

Perhaps if Apache provided a way to "disable" a single virtual server...
but it doesn't.  So the tenant above forces a full-stop on the whole
thing.

Admittedly, the error messages could be better.  That's a truisim in the
computer field. :)
        /r$

PS:  Nothing stopped you from bringing up a separate server on a
different port with all but the SSL vhost removed....
