That is a bug in your CGIServlet (though I have no knowledge of them at
all). It must be setting $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} to that value, or else it
could be setting the ARG values wrong. That is the only way that IC
would see this.

Sounds like someone needs to write a custom Interchange link 
script for your Tomcat implementation, one that takes care
of these problems.
