Debugging handshake failures isn't my area of expertise, but I note both 
ClientHellos include a signature_algorithms extension, and the contents are 
quite different. In particular, the successful ClientHello includes the 
Signature Hash Algorithm Hash and Signature Hash Algorithm Signature 
parameters, while the failing one doesn't.

The failing one also includes a signature_algorithms_cert extension, while the 
successful one does not. I don't know offhand how the algorithms specified in 
that extension correspond to the signature-algorithm OIDs in signatures, but 
the server's certificate has 1.2.840.113549.1.1.11 (sha256WithRSAEncryption) 
which seems like it ought to correspond to either rsa_pss_rsae_sha256 or 
rsa_pss_pss_sha256. (Apparently those are both RSA-PSS with SHA256, as the name 
implies, and the difference between the two of them is whether the public key 
is encoded using the rsaEncryption format in the certificate, or the 
id-RSASSA-PSS format. The failing client is saying it understands both, AIUI.)

So my guess would be the server is unhappy that the failing client's 
ClientHello doesn't include the parameters for the various supported signature 
schemes in its signature_algorithms extension. But that's just a guess, and I 
don't know how you'd fix it.
