HPKP report-uri and nginx ssl_verify_client

Hi,

on a host I'd like to send HPKP reports to ssl_verify_client is set to
"optional":

ssl_client_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/CA.pem;
ssl_verify_client optional;

If HPKP policy fails (for another domain), Chrome (54.0.2840.71
(64-bit)) sends HPKP reports to that reporting host, but the post ends
with an "ERR_SSL_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT_NEEDED" error, which in my
understanding is not correct, because /hpkp-report path doesn't require
a client certificate for authentication. Chrome bug?

If I type in https://www.example.org/hpkp-report in Chrome's address bar
I don't get an SSL error (tested with different clients).

Ciao
Marcus
