Scott,

We ran into the same problem and when we looked at init.php we saw that 
is only threw back a bunch of initialization parameters for the mapfile. 
Since we only have a singe mapfile we decided to get rid of it and just 
embed the parameters directly into the index.html page and all tiles are 
served just fine. This of course eliminated the ability to use other 
features that require AJAX access to the server, but our application was 
then happy fetching services from the applications server and to get 
tiles from the mapserver.
