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.
