Incidentally, since I brought this issue up a while, I've kind of come 
to terms with this behavior.  At least in the context of Paste -- I use 
paste.urlmap to map different URLs, so I do:

<Location /foo>
   SCGIServer localhost 4000
</Location>
<Location /bar>
   SCGIServer localhost 4000
</Location>

# in paste configuration:
urlmap['/foo'] = 'foo_app.conf'
urlmap['/bar'] = 'bar_app.conf'


So, in this case actually flup's SCGI servers translate SCRIPT_NAME to 
PATH_INFO (if you don't give an explicit SCRIPT_NAME when configuring 
it, and you don't set WSGI_SCRIPT_NAME in the Apache configuration). 
Then urlmap pulls off the matching portion of the URL and puts it back 
in SCRIPT_NAME.  So even though it's all a little confusing, the result 
is something that's easy to configure for putting   multiple 
applications into one process.
