Concerning PR#2409 (customising ErrorDocument 500)

PR#2409 complains that ErrorDocument 500 declarations in
.htaccess files and <Directory> containers get ignored.
I tracked this down to the way directory_walk() works: it
parses the .htaccess files and then merges the config
records.  Thus a parsing error (which means a 500) has
only the server config available to field the problem.

Does it makes sense to document this as a restriction, or
should the .htaccess parsing include the merging operation?
Personally, I prefer the latter -- any comments before I
start working on a patch?
