Thanks for that lead. These rules ARE in a 'Directory' block so this is the case. It looks like I can resolve this by placing a 'catch-all' after the first 'xyz-static-content' rewrite:
RewriteRule ^xyz-static-content_[A-Z0-9a-z._-]+/(.*)$ xyz-static-content/$1 RewriteRule ^xyz-static-content - [L] Do you see any more straight-forward or efficient way to handle this?

Can anyone explain this behavior? I'm trying to use the second set of rules to avoid having to rewrite the situation where the user requests just '/xyz' to '/xyz/'. The manual has cautions about the L flag and per-directory (htaccess) rewrites. When you make a substitution in htaccess, the whole thing starts over.
