HAProxy with ALPN support

I have a GO http server where I want to use http/2 with ALPN. I am using https://tools.keycdn.com/http2-test to test for this.

I am using the following code to configure TLS from my GO code.

tlsConfig := &tls.Config{
	PreferServerCipherSuites: true,
	MinVersion:               tls.VersionTLS12,
	SessionTicketsDisabled:   true,
	CipherSuites: []uint16{
		tls.TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,
		tls.TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,
		// tls.TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305, // Go 1.8 only
		// tls.TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305,   // Go 1.8 only
		tls.TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,
		tls.TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,
	},
	ClientAuth: tls.VerifyClientCertIfGiven,
}

If I terminate TLS at my GO server, I see that HTTP/2 with ALPN is working.

Now, I want to use HAProxy to terminate TLS and load balance across multiple replicas of my GO server. I am using HAProxy 1.7.2 in a Ubuntu 16.04 Docker image with the following cipher suite:

This is what I see from curl:

My hunch is that somehow a blacklisted cipher is getting selected and causing ALPN to not work. How do I get HTTP/2 with ALPN to work with HAproxy?
