And the reason it breaks is that PythonHandlerModule forgets to setup
the call to PythonAuthenHandler.

    python_directive_handler(cmd, mconfig, "PythonPostReadRequestHandler", val, SILENT);
    python_directive_handler(cmd, mconfig, "PythonTransHandler", val, SILENT);
    python_directive_handler(cmd, mconfig, "PythonHeaderParserHandler", val, SILENT);
    python_directive_handler(cmd, mconfig, "PythonAccessHandler", val, SILENT);

     # PythonAuthenHandler missing here.

    python_directive_handler(cmd, mconfig, "PythonAuthzHandler", val, SILENT);
    python_directive_handler(cmd, mconfig, "PythonTypeHandler", val, SILENT);
    python_directive_handler(cmd, mconfig, "PythonHandler", val, SILENT);
    python_directive_handler(cmd, mconfig, "PythonInitHandler", val, SILENT);
    python_directive_handler(cmd, mconfig, "PythonLogHandler", val, SILENT);
    python_directive_handler(cmd, mconfig, "PythonCleanupHandler", val, SILENT);

Been that way since 3.0. :-)
