OK I think I've got this working now.
The thing I didn't do at first was put the VirtualDocumentRoot line inside a <VirtualHost>
container but having done this it seems to work. Because if you're using
VirtualDocumentRoot on its own you don't need it enclosed.
So my relevant test setup is:
UseCanonicalName Off
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /var/www/foo/htdocs
ServerName foo.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%0
</VirtualHost>
then with foo.com and bar.com set up to resolve to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf
it serves foo.com using the first VirtualHost section and bar.com using the second
(mod_vhost_alias) VirtualHost section.
Paul.
