Well, not a fix, but a workaround:
I also *access* mythweb from another machine, my main webserver, and I 
have it setup so that webserver acts like a proxy and forwards all 
requests to myth transparently. Apache is cool! I do:

# You'll need to load mod_rewrite. For me this is:
# LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/prot/myth/mythweb/(.*) http://myth/mythweb/$1 [P]

(The URL that I access *on my webserver* is e.g. 
http://mainwebserver/prot/myth/mythweb/ and that just works now)

And then protect everything under /prot with a password:
         <Location /prot>
                 Deny from all
                 Allow from 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
                 AuthType Basic
                 AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/htpasswd.users
                 AuthName "protected directory"
                 Require valid-user
                 Satisfy any
         </Location>


Then as far as mythweb is concerned its running locally, while your 
browser thinks its accessing the main webserver. When you're running 
from your own LAN (192.168.0.X) you do it without password, but from 
"the outside" - you'll be requested to enter your password. Maybe that 
wasn't what you were looking for, but its worked flawlessly for me, and 
I hope this helps you too!
