I just set this up as well and had the same issue with s3cmd ws-create not working. Adding "rgw_enable_static_website = true" to the s3 api gateways solved it. This does appear to be the correct solution. The s3website api gateways are serving their error messages in html and the s3 api gateways are in xml still.

Enabling static website on the gateway serving the S3 api does look like
the right solution. As far as I can tell, it's only used to control
whether the S3 ops for PutBucketWebsite, GetBucketWebsite, and
DeleteBucketWebsite are exposed.
