It's not a limitation, it's documented to behave exactly this way. The
vhosts/details.html docs say this:
The first vhost on this list (the first vhost that appears after the
corresponding NameVirtualHost directive in the config file) has the
highest priority and catches any request to an unknown server name
or a request without a Host: header.
So it will never serve your "main server" config. You need to encapsulate
your main
server as the first <VirtualHost> for your IP.
