I have an Apache 2.4.18 with OpenSSL 1.0.2f configuration here with dual (RSA 4096 + ECC 384) certificate configuration. I also provide certificate transparency through TLS extension.
When using openssl s_client -serverinfo 18 -connect winpack.cf:443 to test my Signed Certificate Timestamps, openssl uses the EC-384 certificate and everything works (TLS extension 18 is correctly provided).
However, when running openssl s_client -cipher 'ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA' -serverinfo 18 -connect winpack.cf:443 to force use of RSA-4096 certificate, the extension is NOT provided and the output is as follows: (you can run it too, you will have the same results... I tried running it from 3 computers of different subnets)

Edit 1: Here is my mod_ssl configuration (obviously some certificate/private key paths have been removed)

This means that # the standard Auth/DBMAuth methods can be used for access control. The # user name is the `one line' version of the client's X.509 certificate. # Note that no password is obtained from the user. Every entry in the user # file needs this password: `xxj31ZMTZzkVA'. # o ExportCertData: # This exports two additional environment variables: SSL_CLIENT_CERT and # SSL_SERVER_CERT. These contain the PEM-encoded certificates of the # server (always existing) and the client (only existing when client # authentication is used). This can be used to import the certificates # into CGI scripts. # o StdEnvVars: # This exports the standard SSL/TLS related `SSL_*' environment variables. # Per default this exportation is switched off for performance reasons, # because the extraction step is an expensive operation and is usually # useless for serving static content.

When you need a different shutdown # approach you can use one of the following variables: # o ssl-unclean-shutdown: # This forces an unclean shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. no # SSL close notify alert is send or allowed to received. This violates # the SSL/TLS standard but is needed for some brain-dead browsers. Use # this when you receive I/O errors because of the standard approach where # mod_ssl sends the close notify alert. # o ssl-accurate-shutdown: # This forces an accurate shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. a # SSL close notify alert is send and mod_ssl waits for the close notify # alert of the client. This is 100% SSL/TLS standard compliant, but in # practice often causes hanging connections with brain-dead browsers. Use # this only for browsers where you know that their SSL implementation # works correctly. # Notice: Most problems of broken clients are also related to the HTTP # keep-alive facility, so you usually additionally want to disable # keep-alive for those clients, too. Use variable "nokeepalive" for this. # Similarly, one has to force some clients to use HTTP/1.0 to workaround # their broken HTTP/1.1 implementation. Use variables "downgrade-1.0" and # "force-response-1.0" for this. BrowserMatch "MSIE [2-6]" \ nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \ downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 # MSIE 7 and newer should be able to use keepalive BrowserMatch "MSIE [17-9]" ssl-unclean-shutdown [headers removed] #H2Direct On Protocols h2 http/1.1 </VirtualHost> </IfModule> 
mod_sslconfiguration you are using in your Apache config?openssl s_client -connect winpack.cf:443 -serverinfo 18 -cipher RSAfails. Thus I was wondering if there might be something in the configuration that would prevent the use of your RSA cert.
