Ah, very clever.  I can confirm what you say by changing the
AddHandler directive from

AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi

to

AddHandler cgi-script .fcgi

So, when Apache was telling me (when the first version of the
AddHandler directive was in play) "The requested URL
"/appname.fcgi/admin was not found on this server" (the error message
leading me to the incorrect conclusion that Apache interpreted the
file path syntax the same way Unix does) what it really meant was
"your hosting provider hasn't set up mod_fcgid properly."  Odd way to
communicate that problem.  So I guess I'll have to go back to my
hosting provider and ask why this isn't working, in spite of
documentation on their site implying that it should.

Thank you very much for getting me unstuck from the misleading Apache
error message.
