Yup, you've stumbled on an interesting bug.

The reason this makes a difference is that without it, there are no
mod_perl directives (the custom ones are 'special'), so no configuration
pass for modperl in that directory.

Side-effect of that is that $r->location isn't tracked proprely.
Keep in mind that r->location is not an httpd api, but rather something
convenient mod_perl tracks. But not in this case, unfortunately.
