Because path_info shouldn't be involved in finding the file, unless Apache is configured to ignore path info. And even that doesn't make sense because you weren't testing with /foo/bar.html/extra/pathinfo

If I requested /foo/bar/hi.html, filename would be /foo/bar and path_info would be /hi.html. It might be that Apache decided to do something funky here because its map to storage handler could not find $docroot/foo/bar/hi.html, and it’s only later that my PerlTypeHandler sets the file to $docroot/$user/foo/bar/hi.html.

No idea, I’m loathe to mess with it anymore.
