I could not reproduce your symptoms with Windows/XP and Moin 1.2.4. The
directory statement should do no harm (it has an unmatched double
quote) unless you also have a ScriptAlias statement pointing to it left
over from using cgi. Double check that and comment any remaining
ScriptAlias and the directory statement out. 

The docs for installing Moin with mod_python are a mess. This may be
partly Apache's fault with so many alternatives that end up doing much
the same thing: Directory, Files, Location, and .htaccess files. As I
am locked out of updating the Wiki master and underlay files, I can
only add to the confusion here.
