Problem with - Use a single directory for housing SSL and non-SSL content

In Plesk 7.5.3 I noticed a handy new feature:
Use a single directory for housing SSL and non-SSL content
Well, that should be great, keeps me from having to maintain two directories (httpdocs and httpsdocs) and keep them in sync.
It works... sort of.
Lets say I have a domain, "mydomain.com", and I have a subdomain "subd.mydomain.com". When using this new feature, all the content for "www.mydomain.com" whether accessed via HTTP or HTTPS now comes from the /httpdocs folder as expected.
When it comes to the subdomain, the HTTP content comes from /subdomains/subd/httpdocs as expected... The unexpected part happens when trying to access the subdomain content via HTTPS.. it then uses the /httpdocs directory for the main domain rather than that of the subdomain. Does this make sense to anyone else? Or are my expectations unorthodox?
 
If that is what is happening then it sounds like a bug to me. Either that, or there is some sort of limitation that I'm not aware of relating to this feature.

Unfortunately I've never used the Plesk subdomain facility, so I'm a little in the dark over how it works.

Nevertheless, I'd contact Plesk support and get them to look into it. If it is a bug, is it a big but easy to fix one (I wold have thought) and they should really be told about it.
