Apache is failing to run all of the hooks it claims it runs when it
generates internal subrequests. I suspected it would do that, but I
couldn't reproduce a case during testing that did this. I did test that
case, or thought I did, so it's possible it behaves differently on Windows.

It's a bug, please file it. You can consider the 2.4 support effectively
broken at this point. I wasn't really expecting it to work, just waiting
for the first bug report.
