Just to close the loop here:

When a route requires authentication via DPAE, and fails to 
authenticate, a URL is generated via uri_for(). This is evaluated in the 
context of the application you are in, which means the /api prefix is 
exactly correct. Thus, if you want '/' and '/api' to both require 
authentication this way, they will have to share an authentication 
handler and coordinate their sessions.

What I was trying to do was have route handlers in the API.pm (prefix: 
/api) application send unauthenticated requests over to /login in the 
App.pm (prefix: /) application, and that appears to be impossible or at 
least very difficult.
