SetEnvIf failure or success?

I'm trying to extract part of a URI into an environment variable to use in an authorization scheme (let's skip talking about how I'll USED that variable for the moment).

I have the following directives in my configuration:

LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b UMG=%{UMG}e" umgs
CustomLog logs/umg.log umgs
	...
    <Location ~ "^/(.*)/umg/.(.*)(.html|/(.*)?)$">
	...
    SetEnvIf REQUEST_URI "^/(.*)/umg/.(.*)(.html|/(.*)?)$" UMG=$2
	...
    </Location>

When I watch that log file, and hit resources that match that location, I'm seeing entries in the log which suggest a value for the UMG variable is not being extracted:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - jlw12 [22/Mar/2012:09:31:13 -0400] "GET
	/umgs/umg.up.dlt.sslcerts.mgttool HTTP/1.1" 301 455 UMG=-
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - jlw12 [22/Mar/2012:09:31:25 -0400] "GET
	/umgs/umg.up.dlt.ul.gml.managers HTTP/1.1" 301 454 UMG=-

I'd expected to see UMG=up.dlt.sslcerts.mgttool and UMG=up.dlt.ul.gml.managers on these two log lines.

Several thoughts come to mind:
1) Logging is taking place before the SetEnvIf takes place.
2) Miscoding of Location's regular expression is causing SetEnvIf to be
	bypassed.
3) Miscoding of SetEnvIf's regular expression is causing SetEnvIf to fail.
4) Miscoding of SetEnvIf's value specification is causing failure.

Apache 2.2.6, so I don't have the luxury of setting up debug level logging for mod_setenvif; I also don't have immediate access to the source used for mod_setenvif so I can't say FOR CERTAIN that it's v2.0.51 or later such that the $2 in the value specification is legitimate.

Is there anything obvious in these directives that would bear out one of these suspicions, or would point in a different direction?
