I would try the following:
Check the access log of your Apache - maybe there is a non-SSl page in between which is then rewritten to an SSL-page?
According to the site.ini for EZ 3.8.3 the SSLSubtrees settings works only for content subtrees so try whether removing this setting changes anything.
Enable debug redirection - maybe you can see there where you leave the ssl mode.
Also check the information about ssl zones: http://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/trunk/doc/features/3.8/ssl_zones.txt
I do not have any SSL-enabled test server at the moment so I can not try myself.
