What is the problem exactly?

Is it just the fact that the "path to this script" is sometimes in 
PATH_TRANSLATED and sometimes in SCRIPT_FILENAME?

If that is the case, why not just try one after another.

In basic PHP this would look like:

$script_filename = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_FILENAME'];

if(!$script_filename) {
	$script_filename = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PATH_TRANSLATED'];
}
if(!$script_filename) {
	$script_filename = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED'];
}
if(!$script_filename) {
	$script_filename = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['ORIG_SCRIPT_FILENAME'];
}

At the end it's rather likely that $script_filename will contain the 
right value.
