Isn't that the point of %{LA-U:FOO}, to do a subrequest to get access to
things that aren't available till after? It is the canonical example of
%{LA-U:FOO} in the docs.
Eg, [1] says:
%{LA-U:variable} can be used for look-aheads which perform an
internal (URL-based) sub-request to determine the final value of
variable. This can be used to access variable for rewriting
which is not available at the current stage, but will be set in
a later phase.
For instance, to rewrite according to the REMOTE_USER variable
from within the per-server context (httpd.conf file) you must
use %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER} - this variable is set by the
authorization phases, which come after the URL translation phase
(during which mod_rewrite operates).
