Comment (by dbvista):

 (Following up my own ticket)

 This is not a bug, but docs should be updated to avoid confusion for other
 users.

 The problem is that our name-based virtual host set up in Apache was set
 up only for port 80, so the .htaccess file (and its mod_rewrite rules) was
 being ignored for SSL pages.

 The docs for FORCE_SSL_LOGIN should be updated to advise the user about
 this situation, and to give an example solution like this for httpd.conf:

 {{{
 NameVirtualHost *:443
 <VirtualHost *:443>
     ServerName site.com
     <Directory "/var/www/html">
     AllowOverride FileInfo Options
     </Directory>
 </VirtualHost>
 }}}
