It does work: it does the encapsulation for you, so you need

dhcp-option=vendor:APC,01,31:41:50:43
dhcp-option=vendor:APC,02,01:01

depending on what those options are, you may what to use a more natural 
representation than hex bytes.


Your second example is taking the already-encapsulated options, treating 
them as a single option and encapsulating them again, which confuses 
things somewhat.
