Actually it's worse than that.  But AFAICS simpler to fix.

I really, *really* should have fixed it when I fixed the same problem
in ProxyPassReverse and friends, in 
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?rev=231355&view=rev

The basic problem is putting directives on the server_rec and then
hacking them to work inside <Location>.  The original bug was with
ProxyPassReverse, where multiple <Location>s in a virtualhost would
just overwrite each other.   Thinking back, at the time I fixed that,
I'd just never considered using ProxyPass in <Location>, and didn't
realise it was supposed to work!

So, any reason not to apply the same fix?
