Ok, the code in 1.10 is quite different, I'd be grateful if
you could try all that again using it.

OTOH there is no reason this should work: I don't think it's
even possible for a program to know what IP address
corresponds to what interface.

This already works. IP addresses already identify
interfaces: each interface has one or several IP address,
but one IP address is not normally shared between several
interfaces (except if you're bridging them, but then you
specifically want both interfaces to behave the same).

Typically you can set up Apache to listen on localhost:443
(127.0.0.1:443), using directive Listen in its configuration
(in /etc/apache2/ports.conf in Debian), and then you set up
sslh to listen to the network interface's address, e.g. 
sslh --listen 192.168.0.1:443
