I think that is the correct behavior.  The redirect should
be to /component if you want the redirect response's location
header to be /app.cgi/component.  This allows the application
to operate without changes, even if the SCRIPT_NAME changes.

Within the application, you should use redirect as if the
application were running at the root of the url space.
If you need urls for generated javascript or css, you should
call complete_url() or build the path directly using
get_script_name().

This has always been a confusing issue, here and in
Quixote history.
