I can not say right now if is it possible to allow "ssl" parameter
on non-default listen, but how do you plan to use two name-based
SSL servers on one IP-address:

 server {
     server_name example.com;
     listen 80;
     listen 443 ssl;
 }

 server {
     server_name beispiel.de;
     listen 80;
     listen 443 ssl;
 }

?
