I suspect that I've seen and worked around some sort of related issue
recently.  There definitely *seems* to be something odd about requests
for the application root and "::Root" controllers with namespace = '',
and what the path seems to be, etc.  In my case, it made ::Root:index
not work right in certain cases, but I was able to work around the
issue by using :Path('/');  I couldn't tell for sure if it was just a
local issue in my app though.
