Looks like the solution is to modify the web.config. I haven't tested, ymmv, be sure to make a copy of your web.config before starting, etc.

The solution is to modify the web.config of the application. Remove the PublishingHttpModule module that was added by the root web.config:
<httpModules>

   <remove name=”PublishingHttpModule” />

</httpModules>
