when accessing the special pages, I'm seeing this Apache error:

The problem, as it turns out, is not related to using pretty URLs and/or mod_alias aliases, and it is not new (sort of). Back in 2003, the Apache developers talked about it:

AFAICS, it is related to Apache on Windows deciding that colon is not a valid character in filenames. However, it seems like something (probably mod_php) should tell Apache the paths are valid because they don't really map to a file.
The weird thing is that this didn't happen before, so either the Apache 2.2.X build on Windows, or PHP 5.1.2 (and .3RC) is doing something different...
