Ah, they're all named-based vhosts on the same apache instance.

Another alternative:  since the targets are not supposed to be accessed 
from the outside, give them separate private IP addresses and use 
IP-based vhosts instead.

It seems like it might be reasonable to file a bug with the Apache folks 
asking for a way to configure Host: routing for name-based vhosts 
separately from redirect generation.

(Of course, if there is an easy way for Shib to work around it in the 
meantime, that might be reasonable too...)
