That is, what docs says and how I understand it.

by "the request" I understood the destination IP address and port where the
request came, independently on the Host: header.
by "host receiving the request" I understood the virtual host (on the given
IP) whose ServerName or ServerAlias match the provided Host: header. If none
VirtualHost matches, the first has to be used.

Then, can at least someone help me to write such patch?
I was curious as well as to *why* this is the way it is, so I looked
in the source...
This is intended for some reason or another. In the source, the
<VirtualHost> name is searched first (in order of appearance in conf
file) and returns a match before ServerName/Alias is even tried.
There is even a comment in the source stating that "If this is a
NameVirtualHost then we may not be doing the Right Thing". So you
could argue a bug, but this goes all the way through to 2.2.2 so it
will never be changed, heh.
So, as previously stated, just always configure your VH with
ServerName same as <VirtualHost> tag as the *first* one in the file.
This will work fine.
As for patching (not recommended), you could change
ap_matches_request_vhost in http_vhost.c to run the matches_aliases
before the VirtualHost name matches. But, I think changing the order
of your conf would be easier.
