Probably something in how you have it configured. My guess is that you did something unusual to make Mason NOT use autohandlers and have forgotten what that was.

What happens if you take out the autohandler in the second LocationMatch? How about the dhandler? I don't use LocationMatch myself, though, so I could be wrong here. Another possibility - is there a space before the % $m->call_next() in your autohandler? %-lines must start on the first character; a space will cause Mason to skip it and display it, as you have seen. I got caught by that a lot when I was starting out.
