That was indeed the issue. I added this as an example to the wiki at
http://wiki.hcoop.net/DomTool/Examples#SubdomainRedirection

I disabled the wordpress rewrite rules, but still experience the same
phenomena.
Here's the Apache vhost configuration generated (no rewrite rules this
time):
--------------------------------------------------------------
Web vhost www.shmichael.com:
--------------------------------------------------------------

# Owner: shmichael
<VirtualHost 69.90.123.68:80>
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/user/s/sh/shmichael/apache/log/mire/
www.shmichael.com/error.log
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/user/s/sh/shmichael/apache/log/mire/
www.shmichael.com/access.log combined
        ServerName www.shmichael.com

        SuexecUserGroup shmichael
nogroup
        suPHP_UserGroup shmichael
nogroup
        WaklogEnabled
on

        WaklogLocationPrincipal
shmichael/daemon at HCOOP.NET/etc/keytabs/user.daemon/shmichael
        DAVLockDB
/var/lock/apache2/dav/shmichael/DAVLock

        DocumentRoot /afs/hcoop.net/user/s/sh/shmichael/wordpress

        ServerAdmin shmichael at hcoop.net

        ServerAlias shmichael.com

        ServerAlias growing-software.shmichael.com

</VirtualHost>

I will leave the wordpress commented out for the next day or two, to allow
any helpful admins to look into the issue.
