I have stumbled upon this very annoying issue as well. The solution is to disable MultiViews in httpd.conf, by adding -MultiViews for needed directory, for example:

    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted

After that, rewrites started to work expected way.

Don't forget to reload Apache after editing configuration files.
