Yes, it might be a cause, however u can be sure only when developer
confirms... 
Did you test it on ISA2000 with SNAT clients?

Ah, okay, this makes much more sense.  Can I summarize it by saying that
when browsing the web without using a proxy, it returns a slightly
different URL with ISA2004 than it did with ISA2000, which confuses the
SurfControl plug-in, causing it to ignore the request?

>It didn't.

This is the most probable reason why it might work for ISA2000 and not
for ISA2004:

One of the differences:

Example request with URL: http://xxx.com/test.txt  from SNAT client

ISA proxy function for plugins:
GetServerVariable(pfc,"URL",&url[0],&dwSize))
Returns for SNAT&FW client 

On ISA2004:
"/test.txt"

On ISA2000 same function for same clients returns:

"http://xxx.com/test.txt";

This change has to be considered by any ISA ISAPI Proxy plug-in working
with URLs.
