Thanks - that's it -- `proxy_pass` does not inherit, but all the `proxy_set_header` directives in that block do.
Only the `proxy_pass` directive needed to be repeated in the location block (thank goodness!)

location /foo {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6543;
# nearly 10 lines of proxy_set_header
...
location /foo/admin {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6543;
auth_basic "Administrator Login";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/_htpasswd/foo;
}
}

The proxy has a dozen lines of configuration.
The `proxy_pass` line doesn't inherit, but the docs don't mention that.
Only the `proxy_pass` directive not inheriting was the last thing I expected. So I had to run duplicate blocks until things worked.
