Yes; this has been an issue for some time, and there are some existing
bugs (in request-tracker3.8) about this:

<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=486633>
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=503454>

However things are a little different in request-tracker4, with the
PSGI interface, as you've suggested, so I'm filing this as a fresh bug.
