A few quick things...

Directory Browsing and Default Document are 2 seperate modules within IIS 7
....

403 responds to Access Denied and 401 responds to unauthorised ...

if default.aspx is a local file and was then added to the default document
list then you should be having the following entry in the web.config file

<system.webServer>
<defaultDocument enabled="true">
<files>
<add value="default.aspx" />
</files>
</defaultDocument>
</system.webServer>

check if you have this...

Those entries are present. However it leaves me a little confused. Does
the classic pipeline use the web.config?

Still scratching my head on this one? :(
