SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP when using EC certificates

I wanted to use EC certificates for the web interface. After creating the Root CA and a server cert based on that root, I restarted the web interface.
However, every browser that I use to connect complains about no overlapping ciphers being found.

If I use RSA certs, connections work.

Why can't FreeNAS' NGINX properly negotiate a TLS connection with EC certs?

Summary Findings:
  1. OpenSSL cipher list from FreeNAS command line definitely shows at least 2 ciphers that Firefox would have accepted: ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 and TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
  2. Even when I manually edit /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf and set ssl_ciphers ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:!RC4:!aNULL:!eNULL:!LOW:!3DES:!MD5:!EXP:!PSK:!SRP:!DSS; with a single cipher, NGINX _still_ cannot negotiate an overlapping cipher.
Additional Details:
When I run Wireshark on the client side, I see the following ciphers offered (standard Firefox TLS setup):
Code:
            Cipher Suites (18 suites)
                Cipher Suite: TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (0x1301)
                Cipher Suite: TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 (0x1303)
                Cipher Suite: TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (0x1302)
                Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (0xc02b)
                Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (0xc02f)
                Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 (0xcca9)
                Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 (0xcca8)
                Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (0xc02c)
                Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (0xc030)
                Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA (0xc00a)
                Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA (0xc009)
                Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA (0xc013)
                Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA (0xc014)
                Cipher Suite: TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (0x009c)
                Cipher Suite: TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (0x009d)
                Cipher Suite: TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA (0x002f)
                Cipher Suite: TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA (0x0035)
                Cipher Suite: TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA (0x000a)


When I use OpenSSL on FreeNAS box to list the ciphers, I get the following:
