F5 has it as a Known Issue for 13.0:

 

653495-1 : Incorrect SNI hostname attached to serverside connections

 

Component: Local Traffic Manager

 

Symptoms: SNI hostname submitted to a virtual server on the client side is sent to server side, even if there is a different hostname specified in the server SSL profile.

 

Conditions: -- Client side ClientHello contains SNI.

 

Impact: SNI is sent from client to server without stripping or rewriting the SNI.

 

Workaround: None.

 

It seems we have to wait for them to patch it...
