This feels strange. The %{HTTP_HOST} is the value of the Host: header
of the HTTP request. And on my setup, with httpd-2.4.18-1.fc23.x86_64
on the proxy, the Host: header is the hostname to which the request is
forwarded to (it would be ns01.dev.example.net in your case). After
all, the HTTP proxy is creating completely new HTTP request.

Could you try to minimize the setup (outside of IPA) to figure out
why your Host: request header seems strange?

I would have expected this needs to be

	RequestHeader edit Referer ^https://password\.example\.net:9443/ https://ns01.dev.example.net/

-- with the nonstandard port specified.
