Connect Client IPSec with Elliptic Curve Certificate generation error

Should Connect Client work with ECC Certificates?

If I use Certificates with these Keys and Curves:

The Connect Client will simply not connect at all. It will not establish any network connectio n, does not even send a single packet to the VPN gateway.

In charon.log on the client I see "building CRED_PRIVATE_KEY - RSA failed"

If I use a Certificate with RSA key like this, it works.
