Ah ha! The issue was that doing "ServerAlias *" crashes Apache with no error 
log. ServerAlias apparently needs more than just a
single wildcard character.  Putting the below <VirtualHost> entry after the 
last <VirtualHost> works great!  Sweet.

<VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerName     my-catch-all-dummy-domain.com
      ServerAlias    *.com *.net *.org *.co *.mobi *.info *.me *.us *.biz *.tv 
*.ws
      RewriteEngine  On
      RewriteRule    .* http://www.mydomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
      ErrorLog       /var/log/httpd/error_log
      CustomLog      /var/log/httpd/access_log combined
</VirtualHost>

Now I cannot do the same thing for the 443 virtual host section - adding the 
below <VirtualHost> section crashes Apache with the
below strange error:

[Thu Jun 02 04:55:13 2011] [error] Illegal attempt to re-initialise SSL for 
server (theoretically shouldn't happen!)

<VirtualHost *:443>
      ServerName     my-catch-all-dummy-domain-SSL.com
      ServerAlias    *.com *.net *.org *.co *.mobi *.info *.me *.us *.biz *.tv 
*.ws
      RewriteEngine  On
      RewriteRule    .* https://www.mydomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
      ErrorLog       /var/log/httpd/error_log
      CustomLog      /var/log/httpd/access_log combined
</VirtualHost>
