Well, all relevant directories under /usr have a+x, and that is enough
for Apache to get to /usr/nagios/sbin and execute the files.

I may have found the source of my problem.
The GRSecurity kernel patch option "Trusted Path Execution" seems to be
blocking Apache from executing the CGIs. I'm just recompiling the kernel
with TPE disabled and will check if that helps. I'll share with the
group once I have some results.
