I can reproduce it with PageTemplates. It's the same behavior with 
PythonScripts anywhere in the URL. They are "catch-alls" and deliver the 
rest of the URL in the "traverse_subpath" of the REQUEST. This can be 
useful if you want to build "virtual urls". For PythonScripts this 
behavior is very, very, very useful, but I don't know if this is true 
for PageTemplates as well.
