Stop. hmmm, looks like apr-util's ./configure --help is telling a fib when it says --with-apr can point to apr's install directory. It can't, but seems to work OK if you point it at apr's source tree.
It can. My guess is that you have a symlink somewhere.
apr-config can get confused in certain circumstances when there is a symlink so that the prefix that was originally passed to apr-config is invalid.maybe it gets confused in other circumstances too. But I know how to work around this one so it's not high impact to me.

yikes!
You have to get the above sed rule from httpd-2.0's configure.in to fire correctly. It's very fragile and very wrong, but it works in some predictable edge cases. I haven't had the time to figure out exactly what the edge case is other than that apr-0.9.2 seems to work. Perhaps it is something to do with apr being at the end of the directory name?well, /tmp/apr_inst didn't work either :-(
The bottom line to me is that I have no huge concern with copying a couple of extra files at ./buildconf time. Even though I like the concept, it bothers me to say 2.0 stable supports a separate apr install. It just doesn't feel very stable to me when I can't get it to work after two days off-and-on, on Linux no less!
Of course I want to be sure libtool 1.3 works in 2.0.44 no matter what.
