Looks like the main issue was that I was using the JsonResult shortcut Json() action result method:

public IHttpActionResult Get([FromUri] string domain, [FromUri] string username)
{
    var authInfo = BLL.GetAuthenticationInfo(domain, username);
    return Json(authInfo);
}

It apparently had full control of formatting the results. If I switch to returning HttpResponseMessage then it works as expected:

public HttpResponseMessage Get([FromUri] string domain, [FromUri] string username)
{
    var authInfo = BLL.GetAuthenticationInfo(domain, username);
    return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, authInfo);
}

I did end up using the block of code in the WebApiConfig file as Omar.Alani suggested (opposed to the much lengthier code I had in my OP). But the real culprit was the JsonResult action method. I hope this helps someone else out.
