Perhaps RewriteCond doesn't support the alternation syntax in the  
conditional pattern.  Not sure as I never use RewriteCond.  Most cases  
are easier written with just RewriteRules alone, like so:

RewriteRule ^/(stats|manual|static_images) - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) \
http://127.0.0.1:8080/VirtualHostBase/\
http/%{SERVER_NAME}:80/www_example_com/VirtualHostRoot$1 [P]
