Actually, that's true, but the way RFC5081 adds support for OpenPGP
certs happens to not work with tls-server-end-point bindings because
there's no certificate_list field in the Certificate message when
OpenPGP certs are negotiated.  It would not be difficult to change
tls-server-end-point to cover the use of OpenPGP certs.

Aside: if I read RFC5081 correctly it seems that you can't negotiate the
use of OpenPGP certs for user certs but not for server certs, and vice
versa.  Odd!
