mod_rewrite + django causing incorrect redirect URLs post login

I have a Django project with an app named "Survey" - it is desired that URLs such as http://example.com/Surveys/ViewInspection/1 are accessible via http://example.com/Inspections/ViewInspection/1.

Using Apache 2.4 and mod_rewrite, I have the following set of rules in place to allow this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/Inspections(.+)$ /Surveys$1 [PT]

and all appears to work fine, except where a non-authenticated user attempts to access the above URL (the view for which has the @login_required decorator.

At this point, the user is bounced to the login screen with parameters:

/Auth/Login?next=/Ins/Surveys/ViewInspection/1

After a bit of digging, "/Ins/Surveys/ViewInspection/1" is the value for request.path, whereas request.path_info is correctly set as /Surveys/ViewInspection/1 - the Auth code is taking .path and getting it wrong. If I use a shorter string than "Inspections" the Ins part decreases until disappearing, when it all works fine.

mod_rewrite logs look correct in this instance:

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here to cause request.path to be wrong and foul up the redirects after login?
