Yes, please.

I found that the reason is the jsessionid-parameter in the url.
The current tomcat handles it differently than the old tomcat.

Since the tomcat-upgrade, HttpRequest.pathInfo under certain circumstances returns a value, which still contains the jsessionid (maybe a bug).
But this pathInfo is used to determine the template to be rendered.
This fails and the template is set to 'screens/Default.vm', which does not exist in reality.

So this problem only occurs if a jsessionid is in the url, that means if no session cookie is available.
