+Using Apache 2.4.10 (Debian 8's package) I solved it the following way:
+
+1. In the Apache site configuration, set `ErrorDocument 404` to the ikiwiki.cgi URL path.
+2. Apply the following patch to the plugins search and 404. The easiest and probably cleanest way is to copy the plugins to your `$libdir/IkiWiki/Plugins` and edit them there. It works with xapian omega search but wouldn't work with google, since the *P* CGI parameter is not set (instead, omega uses the `QUERY_STRING` environment variable). Perhaps one day I'll make this a proper patch and submit as a pull request.
+
+[Apache 2.4.13 adds support](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#errordocument) for dynamic strings in `ErrorDocument`s, so you could do something similar to the solution for Nginx above. Until that is packaged in your stable Linux distro of choice, this hack can be used.
