The official method which was pointed out after I sent in my patch is
to use ProxyPassReverse as follows:

    ProxyPass        / http://rtdb.bc.youramigo.com:8078/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://rtdb.bc.youramigo.com:8078/

See one of:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassreverse
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassreverse
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassreverse

depending on your version of Apache. I don't know how to do
ProxyPassReverse with mod_rewrite, so you might want to use my patch.

No worries.
