I think there's a logical explanation here, as ash stated, you were
using PathPrefix before it existed. :)

In a little more detail:

sub about : Chained('lang') PathPrefix Args(0) {

With a working PathPrefix, that would translate to, in this particular
case, PathPart('') -- hence "/*".

Without a working PathPrefix, it's a no-op (hrmm, do invalid
attributes not throw errors?), and the default PathPart setting is the
sub name, hence "/*/about"

HTH,
