Haven't tested, but I believe there is a different way to effectively 
get the desired result (sign with the RSA cert rather than the EC 
one).  You could add a custom security config for those RPs which 
excludes all the ECDSA algorithm URIs ("exclude" as in the 
now-deprecated term "blacklist").  That should prevent the EC cert from 
being selected, and so fall through to the RSA one.
