spiffy-cgi-handlers: infinite redirect with cgit 'about' page

Description

For some reason, going to the "about" page on a cgit repostiory causes spiffy to infinitely redirect with something like the following sample debug log. I think I've observed the behavior on others' spiffy servers as well. Not sure I understand cgi well enough to provide more info.

I'm now unsure if this is a bug - Kooda proposes a solution using a different cgit config here:
