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.
