Apache crashes with filter chain (mpm_prefork:notice SIGTERM)

Hi, I have an apache2 server running under Arch (Apache/2.4.18), but if I add filter directives

FilterDeclare PIWIK_token
FilterProvider PIWIK_token SUBSTITUTE resp=Content-Type $text/html
SUBSTITUTE 's|</body>|<!--#include virtual="/Brandon-et-compagnie/internal/piwik.txt" --></body>|ni'
FilterDeclare PIWIK_code
FilterProvider PIWIK_code INCLUDES resp=Content-Type $text/html
FilterChain PIWIK_token PIWIK_code

to httpd-vhosts.conf, then
apache craches on starting.  Error log says
[Sun Jan 03 19:35:23.122046 2016] [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 3874] AH00169: caught SIGTERM, shutting down

These directive work fine with under Apache 2.2.22 under Mint 13 Maya so this is unlikely to be a syntax error.
It might be a problem of syntax that changed between Apache 2.2 and 2.4, but if I put

FilterDeclare gzip CONTENT_SET
FilterProvider gzip inflate "%{req:Accept-Encoding} !~ /gzip/"
FilterChain gzip

(an example of filter chain taken form [url=https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_filter.html#filterchain] Apache documentation for version 2.4)
[/url]) in vhosts.conf, apache still crashes, so this is probably an issue with Arch.  Would anyoe know how to get around this problem?

Thank you very much in advance.
