No Frank, I'm not missing the point at all. I'm afraid that's you. I will explain again. Please read carefully and understand this time before replying. The default for AllowOverride is None on my version. If I make use of that default setting, and do not specify any value for AllowOverride in any way at all, it does not behave in the same way as if I specify None explicitly. Specifically, .htaccess files are looked for and opened if present, which is not the specified behaviour for a setting of None. The behaviour is correct if I specify None explicitly (.htaccess files are not processed in any way), if I allow None to be specified implicitly, by not setting AllowOverride at all, and using the default, then they are processed, albeit creating an error that the settings are not allowed. With a setting of None, this should not happen, since they should not be opened at all.
