I think it depends on the security context of the process when you
create the apache.users file.  For example, if you run ssh-copy-id
from a pre 6.x system to update your authorized_keys file on a 6.x
system, the file is created with the wrong context and sshd will not
be able to read it.  This may be something similar.
