This is just a guess, since I have never used FakeBasicAuth, but you might try ErrorDocument 401 http://yoursite.example.com/errorpage.html This will probably generate a warning in the error_log, since 401 error documents aren't supposed to be absolute URLs. But in this case, the effect of hiding the 401 status code is exactly what you want, so you can ignore the warning.
