Issue 1 is solved (more or less) with the following solution:

Route::group(array('domain' => 'api.example.com'), function() {
	Route::get('/', function() {
		return 'API 1';
	});
	Route::get('test', function() {
		return 'API test';
	});
	Route::any('{all}', function($uri) {
	    App::abort(404);
	})->where('all', '.*');
});

This implements a sort of catch-all route and seems to take priority over the accounts route group.

Solution

Issue 2 is now also solved using this solution:

//Check for identity segments
if (Request::segment(1) == 'i' and $identity = (int) Request::segment(2)) {
	//Do something with $identity
	$prefix = 'i/'.$identity;
}
else {
	$prefix = null;
}

//Wrapper for (optional) identity prefix
Route::group(array('prefix' => $prefix), function() {

	//Other route groups and routes defined here as usual
});

This way, if there is an identity parameter present, you can filter it out before the routes and set it as a prefix in a wrapper group. If no parameter is given, the prefix is null and is basically ignored.
