Answer 1

don't know if you ever solved this, but i was having the same problem and it turned out i forgot to change the httpd.conf file like this:
Open the “httpd.conf” and uncomment line #461 (approx) which reads “Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf”, then save.
taken from this tutorial which is priceless:

Answer 2

I think its because youre using
ServerAlias *.domain.com
on both virtual hosts
since the ServerAlias directive indicates that the listed names are other names which people can use to see that same web site:
ServerAlias *.subdomain.com
then requests for all hosts in the subdomain.com domain will be served by the subdomain1.domain.com virtual host.
