OK, I finally figured. This is true. It does happen as you observe.
This happens with the web-application that's deployed at root context.
The way to avoid this and still attain what you want is to make your web-application the default-web-module of the default virtual server.
Thus, if you deploy the application as "foo.war" make the virtual server "server"'s default-web-module "foo".
