<Location> is for protecting URLs, not the filesystem. <Directory> is for
protecting the filesystem... and for at least non-wildcard <Directory>
sections, there shouldn't be any problem. (wildcard stuff is fixed in
1.3.1-dev).
See the documentation, this distinction is spelled out. For example:
Note that URLs do not have to line up with the filesystem at all, it
should be emphasized that <Location> operates completely outside the
filesystem.
