Matt, I'm really surprised that you were the first to report this
problem. But I can confirm that the problem exists as reported when no
URL rewriting is used, and also with simulateStaticDocuments. In these
cases, 404 pages and headers are not produced except in response to
nonexistent .html files in the site root. Requests for nonexistent
files of other types and files of any sort in subdirectories are
redirected to the home page. Odd.

With RealURL, 404 pages and headers work in all of the above cases, as expected.
